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.

1 answer

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: \[ \text{Answer: } 4.04 \]
