Answer:1.33 times
Explanation:
Given
A takes 30 sec to complete each length
While B takes 40 sec to complete each length
Let L be the Length of Swimming pool Length
and [tex]V_a[/tex] and [tex]V_b[/tex] be the length of A & B
Thus after 5 minutes A traveled
[tex]x_a=\frac{L}{30}\times 5\times 60=10L[/tex]
[tex]x_b=\frac{L}{40}\times 5\times 60=7.5L[/tex]
so A is 2.5L units ahead of B
A has traveled 1.33 times than B in 5 mins
