Q. Kevin ran

0

.

50

the time that Duke ran. If Duke ran

0

.

1

seconds faster than Bill and Bill ran

7

.

8

seconds, how fast did Kevin run?

Find Bill's Running Speed: First, find out how fast Bill ran. We know Bill ran $7.8$ seconds.
Calculate Duke's Time: Next, since Duke ran $0.1$ seconds faster than Bill, subtract $0.1$ from Bill's time to get Duke's time. So, Duke ran $7.8 - 0.1 = 7.7$ seconds.
Determine Kevin's Time: Now, Kevin ran $0.50$ times the time that Duke ran. So, Kevin's time is $0.50 \times 7.7$ .
Determine Kevin's Time: Now, Kevin ran $0.50$ times the time that Duke ran. So, Kevin's time is $0.50 \times 7.7$ .Do the multiplication: $0.50 \times 7.7 = 3.85$ seconds. So, Kevin ran $3.85$ seconds.
