Question

Suppose an auto racer won a 400 mile race with a time of ​1:41​:58. at one point the racer was 40 miles closer to the finish than the start. how far had the racer gone at that​ point?

Answer 1

400/2 = 200
200 + 20 = 220
200 - 20 = 180
Answer: He had gone 220 miles.

He was 180 miles from the finish and 220 from the start, so he was 40 miles closer to the finish than to the start.
