At a track meet, Tim ran at a constant speed of 300 meters per minute.
After 8 minutes, he still had 600 meters left to run.
The distance Tim ran was three times as long as the distance Eric ran.
What was the distance that Eric ran?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Eric ran 1000 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Tim had a speed of 300 meters per minute. After 8 minutes he had run a distance of

x=300*8=2400 meters

Since he had to run 600 meters more, he ran

2400+600=3000 meters in total

Tim ran three times as long as Eric, so Eric ran the third part as Tim

Eric ran 3000/3=1000 meters
