Answer:

  • Your friend will win the race due to speed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the image, if both friends had ran at the same speed rate, the match would've ended as a draw because the distance was equal. However, my friend had ran faster than I did, therefore, my friend would've won the race due to speed.

Hoped this helped.
