= III Lesson 3-5 Question 10 of 10 (1 point) | Question Attempt: 4 of Unlimited 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 10 Jenna V Espaol Want to read about something wild? Of course you do. Do a search for "Barkley Marathons." This is a race so grueling that often nobody actually finishes. The race consists of five loops of 17 miles through the mountains of Tennessee. For those who make it to the last lap, the racers go in alternate directions around the course, which of course means they'll meet in the middle somewhere. Let's say that only two racers make it to the last lap, and it's close: In fact, both start the last loop around the course at the same time. If one averages 2.02 miles per hour and the other 1.71 miles per hour, how many hours would it be until they meet? (Hint: Use a letter to represent the time until they meet. Then write expressions for the distance traveled by each racer. What do their distances have to add up to?) Round your answer to one decimal place. The two racers would meet in hours. 00 = III Lesson 3-5 Question 10 of 10 (1 point) | Question Attempt: 4 of Unlimited 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 10 Jenna V Espaol Want to read about something wild?
