A runs \( \Large 1\frac{1}{4} \)th as fast as B and wins the race by 25 meters. What is the length of the race?
Correct Answer: Description for Correct answer:
A runs \( \Large 1\frac{1}{4} \)th as fast as B. i.e \( \Large \frac{5}{4} \)th as fast as B.
When A runs 5 meters, B runs 4 meters.
Therefore, if the length of race is 5m, then A will win by 1 m.
In this race, A wins by 25 meters.
Therefore, the length of the race will be 5 times the lead = \( \Large 25 \times 5 \)
= 125 meters.
