In the 2000 Olympics, Jones won the gold medal in the100-meter race with a time of 10.75 seconds. In the 1968 Olympics,Tyus won the gold medal in the 100-meter race with a time of 11.08seconds. If they ran in the same race, repeating their respectivetimes, by how many meters would Jones beat Tyus? What is wrong with my chart, or what do I do next?? Name Rate Time Distance Jones 100/10.75 10.75s 100m Tyus 100/11.08 11.08s 100m Total ? 21.83s 200m In the 2000 Olympics, Jones won the gold medal in the100-meter race with a time of 10.75 seconds.

When it says "by how many meters would Jones beat Tyus?" itmeans "when Jones finishes the race, how many meters would he beahead of Tyus?" That's why you need to figure out how farTyus travels in Jones's time (when he finishes), and once youfigure that he travels d=r*t=(100/11.08)*(10.75)=97.02m, you getthat he is 100m-97.02m=2.98m behind Jones.
