Answer:
Explanation:
1). Let the distance of the race = x feet
Speed of hare = 250 feet per hour
If it takes the time to complete the race = t hours
Since, Speed =

250 =

t =

2). Speed of tortoise = 50 feet per hour
Time taken by the tortoise

So the equations will be,
t =
-------(1)
-------(2)
3). Since, tortoise took 8 hours longer than hare,
- t = 8



x =

x = 500 feet
