After 30 minutes into a race, Tim has run ⁶₁₃ of the route while Tommy has covered only ⁴₁₃ of the distance. Tim runs at the same average speed throughout the race and Tommy’s average speed is 112 m/min slower than Tim’s. If Tommy wants to finish the race at the same time as Tim, by how many percent should he increase his average speed by for the remaining part of the race? Round off your answer to the nearest whole number.
Extra distance that Tim ran more than Tommy in first 30 min
= 30 x 112
= 3360 m

Fraction of the entire distance that was covered by Tim more than Tommy in the first 30 min
= ⁶₁₃ - ⁴₁₃
= ²₁₃

²₁₃ of the entire distance = 3360 m
¹₁₃ of the entire distance = 3360 ÷ 2 = 1680 m

Distance that Tommy ran in the first 30 min
= 4 x 1680
= 6720 m

Tommy's average speed
= 6720 ÷ 30
= 224 m/min

Tim's average speed
= 224 + 112
= 336 m/min

Fraction of the journey that Tim needed to run to complete the race
= 1 - ⁶₁₃
= ⁷₁₃

¹₁₃ of the entire distance = 1680 m
⁷₁₃ of the entire distance = 7 x 1680 = 11760 m

Duration that Tim would take to complete
= 11760 ÷ 336
= 35 min

Fraction of the journey that Tim needed to run to complete the race
= 1 - ⁴₁₃
= ⁹₁₃

⁹₁₃ of the entire distance = 9 x 1680 = 15120 m  

Speed that Tommy needs to take to complete distance at the same time as Tim
= 15120 ÷ 35
= 432 m/min

Increase in Tommy's average speed
= 432 - 224
= 208 m/min

Percentage increase in Tommy's average speed
= ²⁰⁸₂₂₄ x 100%
≈ 93%

Answer(s): 93%
