velocity * time = distance
If we divide both sides of the equation by velocity, we get:
time = distance/velocity
The racer who takes the least time to get to the finish line wins. For the turtle:
TimeT = (100 feet)/(20 feet per minute) = 5 minutes
For the rabbit:
TimeR = (50 feet)/(40 feet per minute) + (3 minutes rest) + (50 feet)/(40 feet per minute)
Can you finish from here?

TimeR = (50/40) +(3) + (50/40) = (100/40) + 3 = ??
