The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to determine how much start N gets from M in a 300 m race where N runs only 225 m. ### Step 1: Understand the total distance of the race The total distance of the race is given as 300 m. **Hint:** Remember that the total distance is the length of the race that both participants are competing in. ### Step 2: Identify the distance covered by N N runs a distance of 225 m in this race. **Hint:** This is the distance that N actually runs while M runs the full distance. ### Step 3: Calculate the distance covered by M Since M runs the entire race of 300 m while N runs only 225 m, we can find out how much distance M covers when N finishes the race. **Calculation:** - M covers the full distance of 300 m. - N covers 225 m. **Hint:** Think about the difference between the total distance and the distance N runs. ### Step 4: Determine the start given to N The start given to N can be calculated as the difference between the total distance of the race and the distance covered by N. **Calculation:** - Start given to N = Total distance - Distance covered by N - Start given to N = 300 m - 225 m = 75 m **Hint:** The start is essentially how much shorter N's race is compared to M's race. ### Final Answer N gets a start of **75 meters** from M. ---
