Question

Reggie,Alvin, and Jose are member of a relay running team. Reggie finished his leg of the race 2.45 seconds faster than Alvin and 3.81 seconds slower than Jose. If Reggie's time for his leg of the race was 57.12 seconds, what was the total time for the team?

Answer 1

If R represents Reggie's time, the total time for the team is
.. R +(R +2.45) +(R -3.81) = 3R -1.36
.. = 3*57.12 -1.36
.. = 170.00 . . . seconds
