Problema Solution

Jamie ran two laps around a track in 99 s. How long did it take him to run each lap if he ran the first lap at 8.5 m/s and the second at 8.0 m/s?

Answer provided by our tutors

    x/8.5 + x/8.0 = 99

   x[(16+17)/136] = 99

   x = 408 meter

   Time for lap1 = 408/8.5 =48 sec

   Time for lap1 = 408/8 =51 sec
