400 M Hurdles
Runner/ Time (seconds)

Keyunta 49.78
Mica 48.44
Elijah 50.02

which two runners had 0.24 seconds between their finish times?

Keyunta and Mica
Jumarcus and Keyunta
Jumarcus and Elijah
Keyunta and Elijah

Answer 1

To find the two runners with a time difference of 0.24 seconds, we need to calculate the differences between the finish times of each pair of runners.

Here are their times:

• 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

2. Jumarcus and Keyunta:

   • 50.51 - 49.78 = 0.73 seconds

3. Jumarcus and Elijah:

   • 50.51 - 50.02 = 0.49 seconds

4. Keyunta and Elijah:

   • 49.78 - 50.02 = 0.24 seconds (this is a difference in absolute terms)

Thus, the two runners that had a finish time difference of 0.24 seconds are Keyunta and Elijah.
