Answer:
total month will be 3.05 month
Step-by-step explanation:
we will make an equation of both runners and equalize them .
1st runner will be
m will be the no. of months.
total 1 = 112 + 45 + 25m
2nd runner will be
total 2 = 50 + 60m
total 1=total 2
112+45+25m = 50+60m
157+25 m=50+60m
157-50=60m-25m
107=35m
107/35=m
m=3.05
