• Keyunta and Elijah

Answer 1

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

Here are the finish times of each runner:

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

Now let's calculate the differences:

1. Difference between Keyunta and Mica:
\( 49.78 - 48.44 = 1.34 \) seconds

2. Difference between Jumarcus and Keyunta:
\( 50.51 - 49.78 = 0.73 \) seconds

3. Difference between Jumarcus and Elijah:
\( 50.51 - 50.02 = 0.49 \) seconds

4. Difference between Keyunta and Elijah:
\( 49.78 - 50.02 = -0.24 \) seconds (this is 0.24 seconds when considering absolute values)

From the calculations, we see that the difference of 0.24 seconds is between Keyunta and Elijah.

Therefore, the correct answer is:
• Keyunta and Elijah
