Answer:

D. Runner B; Runner B will catch up to Runner A 3.5 hours after Runner A crosses the starting line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Runner A:

Time it takes for him to finish:

t = 26.2/5.6 = 4.679 hours (to complete race)

.

Runner B:

Time it takes for him to finish:

t = 26.2/6.4 = 4.094 hours

BUT wait, we have to account for the extra .5 hours -- the time it took for him to cross the start line.

t = 4.094 + .5 = 4.594 hours

3,000,962,245

Then, to estimate the sum (the total amount of money the Software Company earned in those two years, you can round the numbers to the nearest billion.

Having:

2,247,852,199

You need to look at the digit located in the Hundred millions place. Notice that this is:

Then, since:

2

You need can't round up. Then:

2,247,852,199\approx2,000,000,000

Now, having:

3,000,962,245

You can identify that the digit in the Hundred millions place is

0

Therefore:

3,000,962,245\approx3,000,000,000

Now you can add the numbers rounded:

2,000,000,000+3,000,000,000=5,000,000,000

Hence, the answer is: Option B.
