Yes rabbit will win the race will distance in 3.2 hours and turtle will cover in 27 hours

It is given

[tex]V_{t} = 0.9 \frac{m}{s}[/tex]

[tex]V_{r} = 9 \frac{m}{s}[/tex]

[tex]D=1500 m[/tex]

Time taken by turtle

[tex]T= \dfrac{D}{V_{t} }=\dfrac{1500}{0.9_{} }[/tex]

[tex]T=1666 minutes= 27 hours[/tex]

Time taken by rabbit

[tex]T= \dfrac{D}{V_{r} }=\dfrac{1500}{9_{} }[/tex]

[tex]T=166 minutes[/tex]

since rabbit started 30 minutes after turtle then

[tex]T= 136+30=196 minutes[/tex]

[tex]T= 3.2 hours[/tex]

Hence Yes rabbit will win the race will distance in 3.2 hours and turtle will cover in 27 hours
