George will arrive 20 minutes before Max
It takes Max 3 hours(180 minutes) to run 30 km .
The rate can be calculated as follows:
rate = 30 / 180 = 1/6 km/ min
George uses 2 hours 20 minutes(140 minutes) to run 30 km.
The rate can be calculated as follows:
rate = 30 / 140 = 3/14 km / min
If both are to complete a 15-kilometre race, Therefore,
Max time will be
1 / 6 = 15 / t
t = 15 × 6
t = 90 minutes
George time will be
3/14 = 15 / t
3t = 210
t = 210 / 3
t = 70 minutes
Time difference = 90 - 70 = 20 minutes
Therefore, George will arrive 20 minutes earlier than Max
