The youth winner ran the race in 25 minutes 13 seconds. The adult winner ran
the same race in 23 minutes 39 seconds. Who ran faster? By how much?

To figure out who ran faster, we need to convert both times into seconds. The youth winner’s time of 25 minutes 13 seconds translates to 1,513 seconds (25 * 60 + 13). Meanwhile, the adult winner’s time of 23 minutes 39 seconds is 1,419 seconds (23 * 60 + 39).

Now, let’s compare: 1,419 seconds (adult) is less than 1,513 seconds (youth), meaning the adult winner ran faster. To find the difference in their times, subtract the adult’s time from the youth’s: 1,513 - 1,419 = 94 seconds. So, the adult winner ran 94 seconds (or 1 minute and 34 seconds) faster than the youth winner!
