Question

Michael and Tyler both ran a half marathon Michael finished in 1 hour 42 minutes and 13 seconds Tyler finished in 97 minutes and 49 seconds who was faster how much faster was he?

Answer 1

Tyler was faster than Michael in the half marathon, beating him by 264 seconds, which is equivalent to 4 minutes and 24 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine who was faster between Michael and Tyler in the half marathon, we first need to convert their finishing times to a common unit, such as minutes or seconds, and then compare the durations. Michael finished in 1 hour 42 minutes and 13 seconds, which converts to 60 minutes (for the hour) plus 42 minutes, giving us 102 minutes and 13 seconds. To get the total time in seconds, we multiply the minutes by 60 and add the remaining seconds: (102 × 60) + 13 = 6120 + 13 = 6133 seconds.

Tyler finished in 97 minutes and 49 seconds. Converting his time to seconds gives us (97 × 60) + 49 = 5820 + 49 = 5869 seconds.

Comparing both times in seconds, we can see that 5869 seconds (Tyler) is less than 6133 seconds (Michael), which means Tyler was faster. To find out how much faster, we subtract Tyler's time from Michael's: 6133 - 5869 = 264 seconds. Thus, Tyler was 264 seconds faster, or 4 minutes and 24 seconds faster when converted back to minutes and seconds.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Michael and Tyler both ran a half marathon and that Michael finished in 1 hour, 42 minutes and 13 seconds while Tyler finished in 97 minutes and 49 seconds.

First, we should know that 60 minutes makes 1 hour, therefore we need to change Tyler's time taken to finish the marathon appropriately. Since Tyler finished in 97 minutes and 49 seconds, this will be converted to 97 minutes equals 1 hour 37 minutes. Therefore, Tyler used 1 hour, 37 minutes and 49 seconds.

Since Michael finished in 1 hour, 42 minutes and 13 seconds while Tyler finished in 1 hour, 37 minutes and 49 seconds. We can see that Tyler is faster than Michael.

To know how much faster Tyler was, we subtract Tyler's time from Michael's. This will be:

= (1 hour, 42 minutes 13 seconds) - (1 hour, 37 minutes, 49 seconds)

= 4 minutes, 24 seconds.

Tyler was faster by 4 minutes, 24 seconds.
