- It's breakfast time and Mr. H entertains himself once more by watching the daily beetle race across
the 37.5-cm length of the Wheaties box top. Angie the beetle typically averages 3.77 mm/s and
Bessie the beetle averages 4.78 mm/s. If Bessie gives Angie a 5.4 cm head start, then which beetle
wins and by what distance?

Bessie will win the race in 78.45 seconds. In that time Angie would have travelled 295.8mm plus the 54mm head start she will be at 349.8 mm so 25 mm behind.

Bessie wins by 25 mm (2.5 cm)
