Question

Frank and Gabriel competed in a 200m race. Gabriel

finished in half a minute and Frank finished in one
hundredth of an hour. Who won the race, and by how many
seconds?

Answer 1

Gabriel finished the 200m race in 30 seconds, and Frank finished in 36 seconds. Hence, Gabriel won the race by 6 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is about determining who won a 200m race between Frank and Gabriel by converting times given in different units to a common unit (seconds) and comparing them. To compare the times, we first need to convert Frank's time from hundredths of an hour to seconds. There are 3600 seconds in one hour, so one hundredth of that is 36 seconds.

Gabriel finished in half a minute, which is 30 seconds. Now that we have both times in the same unit, we can see that Frank finished the race in 36 seconds while Gabriel finished in 30 seconds. Therefore, Gabriel won the race, and he finished 6 seconds ahead of Frank.
