Reggie, Alvin, and Jose are member of a relay running team. Reggie finished his leg of the race 2.45 seconds faster than Alvin and 3.81 seconds slower than Jose. If Reggie's time for his leg of the race was 57.12 seconds. What was the total time for the team? Show your work.

Respuesta :

From the given, we expressed the time that each of the team members ran in mathematical expression.
 
                Reggie = 57.12 seconds
                 Alvin = 57.12 + 2.45 seconds = 59.57 seconds
                 Jose = 57.12 - 3.81 seconds = 53.31 seconds
We then sum up all the time we calculate to determine the total time for the team. The answer is therefore 170 seconds.
