what is another possible time for the other runner

mathmath333 · Answer

your speed was 10 km in 45.5 minutes

that runners who finished after u must had speed slower than you

formula of speed

$\Large speed=\dfrac{distance}{time}$

so we can see that speed is inversly proportional to time

so when speed increases time decreases and 
when time decreases the speed increases

so that runners who finished after u must had speed slower than you

so they must have consumed more or greater time than you so

so your times was 45.5 minutes and their times must be greater 
than 45.5 so inequalirty would be

$\Large t>45.5~min$
