Question

Bert and Ernie ran the 100-meter dash. The difference of their times was 1.5 s. If Bert won the race in a time of 12.6 s, what was Ernie's time?

Answer 1

Ernie's time is 11.1 seconds

Explanation:

If Bert won the race with the time of 12.6 and the time difference is 1.5, this means Ernie's time was 1.5 seconds less than 12.6.
`12.6-1.5=11.1`
