The track for the lion would have to be 71 meters so they both could finish at the same time. I did this by dividing 100 by 70 and multiplying that answer by 50

It'll never happen unless they are running on a globe. You could have those two running forever in a straight line and the cheetah will always be ahead of the lion. The longer they go, the more the distance between them.
