The winner of a kilometer race crossed the finish line in 3 minutes and 36.32 seconds, while the second place runner took 4 minutes and 4 seconds. By how many seconds did the winner beat the second place runner?
First, let’s convert all the time to seconds.
The winner finished by
seconds = 180 + 36.32 seconds = 216.32 seconds.
The second place runner finished by
seconds = 240 + 4 seconds = 244 seconds.
The difference in time = 244 seconds – 216.32 seconds = 27.68 seconds.
Therefore, the winner beat the second place by 27.68 seconds.
