Answer 1

To find the two runners who had a difference of 0.24 seconds between their finish times, we can compare the times:

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

Now, let's calculate the differences between the runners' times:

1. Keyunta and Mica:

   • Difference: 49.78 - 48.44 = 1.34 seconds

2. Jumarcus and Keyunta:

   • Difference: 50.51 - 49.78 = 0.73 seconds

3. Jumarcus and Elijah:

   • Difference: 50.51 - 50.02 = 0.49 seconds

4. Keyunta and Elijah:

   • Difference: 49.78 - 50.02 = 0.24 seconds (this fits the criteria)

5. Mica and Elijah:

   • Difference: 48.44 - 50.02 = 1.58 seconds

The only pair of runners with a difference of 0.24 seconds is Keyunta and Elijah.

So the correct response is:

Keyunta and Elijah.
