Question
Jim runs 50% faster then Bob. In a 1200m race how much of a head start should Bob get to make the race fair?
My solution:
50%= half
Half of 1200m is 600m
So the answer is 600m
Am I right

nope. 400m head start.
Bob runs 800 m while Jim runs 1200 m.
3 is 50% more than 2.
2 is <u>not</u> 50% less than 3.
