Tyler's claim about finishing his painting first is False because it will take Benito 10 minutes while Tyler will require over 11 minutes to finish up his painting despite starting before Benito.
Size of fence = 150 feet
Benito's rate = 15 ft/min
Tyler's rate = 11 ft/ min
Size already painted by Tyler when Benito started = 39/2 = 19.5 ft
Portion of fence left for Tyler to paint when Benito started = (150 - 19.5) = 130.5 feets
Time required for Tyler to finish :
Time required = 130.5 ÷ 11 = 11.863 minutes
Time required for Benito to finish :
Time required = 150 ÷ 15 = 10 minutes
Time required for Benito to complete his painting is lesser than Tyler's (10 < 11.863)
Hence, Tyler's claim is False
