Answer 1

To determine which two runners had 0.24 seconds between their finish times, we need to find the differences between the times of each pair of runners.

Here are the times again for reference:

- Jumarcus: 50.51 seconds
- Keyunta: 49.78 seconds
- Mica: 48.44 seconds
- Elijah: 50.02 seconds

Now let's calculate the differences:

1. **Keyunta and Mica:**
- \(49.78 - 48.44 = 1.34\) seconds (not 0.24)

2. **Jumarcus and Keyunta:**
- \(50.51 - 49.78 = 0.73\) seconds (not 0.24)

3. **Jumarcus and Elijah:**
- \(50.51 - 50.02 = 0.49\) seconds (not 0.24)

4. **Keyunta and Elijah:**
- \(49.78 - 50.02 = -0.24\) seconds (this is 0.24 seconds apart)

Since Keyunta and Elijah have a finish time difference of 0.24 seconds, they are the correct answer.

Therefore, the two runners that had 0.24 seconds between their finish times are:

**Keyunta and Elijah**.
