Question

Joseph ran a $100m$ race in $10.057seconds$. Zakir ran it in $9.968seconds$. By how much did Zakir beat Joseph in the race ?

Answer 1

Finding the difference in time of Zakir and Joseph

Distance covered by both Joseph and Zakir $=$$100m$
Time taken by Joseph $=$$10.057seconds$
Time taken by Zakir $=$$9.968seconds$
To find out by how much time Zakir beat Joseph, we need to subtract the two decimals.
$$\begin{gathered} 10.057 \\ -9.968 \\ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \\ 00.089 \\ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \end{gathered}$$

Thus, Zakir beat Joseph by $0.089seconds$, as he covered the same distance in less time.
