Question

wingspan can run the 440 yard dash in 55 seconds, and Jack can run it in 88 seconds. How great a handicap must wingspan give Jack for the boys to finish the race at the same time?
A.165 yards
B.242 yards
C.275 yards

Answer 1

when:

440/55 = d speed; 440/88 = j speed

j(55) + hs = 440

hs = 440/(440/50) maybe?

Answer 2

hs = 440/(j*55)

Answer 3

so a, b, or c?

Answer 4

440 - j(55) looks better

Answer 5

165 if i did it right :)
