Perry and Barry ran an 120-meter race. When Barry crossed the finish line, Perry had run only 105 meters. Then they ran a second race, with Barry starting 15 meters behind the starting line. Assuming that both runners ran at the same pace as in the first race, who won the second race?
both completed the race @ same time.
To determine who won the second race, we need to compare the distances covered by both Perry and Barry.
In the first race, Perry ran 105 meters, while Barry completed the full 120 meters. This means that Barry finished ahead of Perry in the first race.
In the second race, Barry started 15 meters behind the starting line. As both runners maintained the same pace as in the first race, Barry would have to run an additional 15 meters to reach the finish line.
Since Perry covered 105 meters in the first race, and Barry only had to run 15 meters more in the second race, Barry would have overtaken and crossed the finish line before Perry.
Therefore, Barry would have won the second race.
