To answer these questions, we will need to analyze the given information about the race.
a) To determine who won the race, we need to find the boy with the shortest time. Looking at the times given, we can see that Eze took the least amount of time, which is 10 seconds. Therefore, Eze won the race.
b) To identify which position had two boys tied, we need to compare the times of each boy. From the given information, Ben and Don both took 12 seconds to complete the race. Therefore, Ben and Don tied for a position.
c) To find the slowest runner, we need to look for the boy with the longest time. Out of the given times, Che took the longest time, which is 14 seconds. Therefore, Che was the slowest runner.
d) The time taken for the entire race is given as 14 seconds. This represents the time taken by the last runner, which in this case is Che.
e) To determine how much longer the slowest boy took to complete the race compared to the first-place runner, we need to subtract the time taken by Eze from the time taken by Che.
Che's time: 14 seconds
Eze's time: 10 seconds
Therefore, Che took 4 seconds longer than Eze to complete the race.
In summary:
a) Eze won the race.
b) Ben and Don tied for a position.
c) Che was the slowest runner.
d) The race lasted for 14 seconds.
e) The slowest boy, Che, took 4 seconds longer than the first-place runner, Eze, to complete the race.
