Mr. Garrison has two dogs, Spot and Wolf. He enters them in a local dog race, which is 3,000 meters long. If Spot has an average speed of 500 meters per minute, and Wolf has an average speed of 200 meters per minute, how much longer does it take Wolf to run the race than Spot?
  8.5 minutes   9.5 minutes   9 minutes   10 minutes help!

You honestly felt the need to post an elementary school level math problem in the wrong forum? Did you spend any time trying it?

Christ. Not only is this in the wrong forum, it's a basic distance/speed/time calculation.

You should go and cry about your inability to perform the most basic of operations. Unless you're 11 or younger, you should be ashamed at having to ask for help on something like this. The wrong forum was simply the icing on the cake.

9 minutes, ~ 10s to figure out in my head. What grade are you in, this wouldn't have been challenging in 1st grade. I portend lots of math related hardships in your meager future...
