Technically, you cannot tell. You have to add the assumption that they both also started at the same time in order to get an answer.

First, use the equation d = r * t for both to determine the distance each traveled.

Child a: d = r * t = 5.0 meters per second * 5 seconds = 25 meters

Child b: d = r * t = 4.5 meters per second * 5 seconds = 22.5 meters

2) Now just figure out how much farther the first child went than the second child
