Question

Two runners run an 8km race. The first runner runs at 11.2km/h and the other at 15km/h how far away is the slower runner by the time the faster one finishes?

Answer 1

d=rt

Answer 2

So the faster runner finishes in 8/15 hr

Answer 3

In this time the slower runner goes a distance of 11.2 x (8/15) = 5.97km

Answer 4

Therefore the slower runner is still 8 -5.97 = 2.03km away
