Question

Ryan runs 100 m two times. His times were 14.19 s and 13.78 s.

Daniel runs 100 m two times. His times were 15.77 s and 16.24 s.

How much greater was Daniel's total time than Ryan's total time?

Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

First, we need to calculate the total time taken by Ryan and Daniel for their runs.

**Ryan's total time:**
- First run: 14.19 s
- Second run: 13.78 s

Adding these two times together:
\[
\text{Ryan's total time} = 14.19 \, \text{s} + 13.78 \, \text{s} = 27.97 \, \text{s}
\]

**Daniel's total time:**
- First run: 15.77 s
- Second run: 16.24 s

Adding these two times together:
\[
\text{Daniel's total time} = 15.77 \, \text{s} + 16.24 \, \text{s} = 32.01 \, \text{s}
\]

**Calculating the difference in total time:**
Now, we subtract Ryan's total time from Daniel's total time:
\[
\text{Difference} = \text{Daniel's total time} - \text{Ryan's total time}
\]
\[
\text{Difference} = 32.01 \, \text{s} - 27.97 \, \text{s} = 4.04 \, \text{s}
\]

Thus, Daniel's total time was **4.04 seconds greater** than Ryan's total time.

Enter your answer:
\[
\text{Answer: } 4.04
\]
