Answer 2

Hi can you help me with this question?

Answer 3

That is ok.

Answer 4

I do remember you as rcagle5.

Answer 5

Cool!

Answer 6

Two hours into his race, Roberto has completed 73.4 km.

Let's try this: Divide 73.4 by 2 to get Roberto's average speed per km

Answer 7

Three hours into his race, Christopher has completed 112.6 km.

So, 112.6/3 here for Christopher.

Answer 8

Three and a half hours into his race, Levi has completed 128.2 km.

128.2/3.5 here for Levi.

Answer 9

Then, we must consider this:

The cyclist must complete the race in under 260 minutes to qualify

Answer 10

Ok that is um...Roberto is 36.7 and Cristopher is 37.43 and Levi is 36.628571

Answer 11

@Directrix ?

Answer 12

Those are km per hour readings.

Answer 13

Is it the way to find the answer?

Answer 14

At the end of one hour, I'm thinking that the order is:

Chris, Roberto, and Levi

But, they have to run the race in fewer than 260 minutes.

Answer 15

This is how far they are running: 165.1 km

Answer 16

So that would be correct right?

Answer 17

Not yet because the runners have to finish the race.

Answer 18

Oh......

Answer 19

I have to step away for a second I will be back. I'll message you.

Answer 20

165.1/36.63 = how long it will take Levi to finish the race.

165.1/37.53 = how long it will take Chris to finish the race

165.1/36.7 = how long it will take Roberto to finish the race.

Answer 21
