Answer 1

Answer:

I am in a race to defend my honor as a maths solver! well I guess the honour of the tortoise is intact as it wins again by 766.67 secs

Step-by-step explanation:

time taken by tortoise is

$\frac{1000}{.2} = 5000 \: secs$

Time taken by hare is

$\frac{200}{2} + 90 \times 60 + \frac{800}{3} = 5766.67 \: secs$

Tortoise wins by 766.67 secs
