Asked by Todd

Nina, Shanti and Belle run a 1000 m race at a constant speed. When Nina crossed the finish line first, she was 200 m ahead of Shanti and 400 m ahead of Belle. When Shanthi crossed the finish line, how far ahead of Belle was she?

What seems to be a reasonable answer for you?
Answered by Todd
I haven't been able to come up with an equation to solve this but the answers say it's 9km/h
Answered by Ms. Sue
That answer doesn't make sense to me. It doesn't answer the question -- how far ahead of Belle was she?
Answered by Todd
This is the exact question from my textbook. It is very confusing
Answered by Ms. Sue
Please check with your teacher.

When Shanthi crossed the finish line, she was 200 meters ahead of Belle.
