Michael and Tyler both ran a half marathon Michael finished in 1 hour 42 minutes and 13 seconds Tyler finished in 97 minutes and 49 seconds who was faster how much faster was he?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Michael and Tyler both ran a half marathon and that Michael finished in 1 hour, 42 minutes and 13 seconds while Tyler finished in 97 minutes and 49 seconds.

First, we should know that 60 minutes makes 1 hour, therefore we need to change Tyler's time taken to finish the marathon appropriately. Since Tyler finished in 97 minutes and 49 seconds, this will be converted to 97 minutes equals 1 hour 37 minutes. Therefore, Tyler used 1 hour, 37 minutes and 49 seconds.

Since Michael finished in 1 hour, 42 minutes and 13 seconds while Tyler finished in 1 hour, 37 minutes and 49 seconds. We can see that Tyler is faster than Michael.

To know how much faster Tyler was, we subtract Tyler's time from Michael's. This will be:

= (1 hour, 42 minutes 13 seconds) - (1 hour, 37 minutes, 49 seconds)

= 4 minutes, 24 seconds.

Tyler was faster by 4 minutes, 24 seconds.
