Steve can complete the 100m dash in 10 seconds by paul can run it in 12 seconds how does steve's time compared to paul's

So Steve complete the 100m dash in 10 seconds, and Paul in 12 seconds. And you want to compare the times:

you can do it in two ways, first the difference:

12 - 10 = 2, so paul needs 2 more seconds to complete the 100m, but this doesn't give us much information.

now the quotient:

We can divide the times, and obtain a ratio between them:

so the time of Steve is 10/12 = 0.83 times the time of Paul.

you also could do 12/10 = 1.2, this says that Paul time is 1.2 times the time of Steve.

  n=   0.0000 - 0.3750 i  

  n=   0.0000 + 0.3750 i
