Question

In the 1996 Olympics, Michael Johnson of the United States won the gold medal in the 200-meter race with a time of 19.32 seconds. In the 2008 Olympics, Usain Bolt of Jamaica, won the gold medal in the 200-meter race in 19.30 seconds. If they ran the same race repeating their respective times, calculate the distance, in meters, that Bolt would have beat Johnson in this race? (Hint: Use the distance formula, d = rt.)

Answer 1

I was thinking the answer would be 1.07 right?

Answer 2

\[d_{mj}=r_{mj}*t_{mj}\]\[200=r_{mj}*19.32\]\[r_{mj}=\frac{200}{19.32}\]

Answer 3

\[d_{ub}=r_{ub}*t_{ub}\]\[200=r_{ub}*19.30\]\[r_{ub}=\frac{200}{19.30}\]

Answer 4

never mind i figured thanks for the help though
