The hare and the tortoise had a race over 100 m, in which both maintained constant speeds. When the hare reached the finish line, it was 75 m in front of the tortoise. The hare immediately turned around and ran back towards the start line. How far from the finish line did the hare and the tortoise meet?
A. 54 m B. 60 m C. 64 m D. 66⅔ m E. 72 m
B
The hare moves four times as fast as the tortoise. Thus, they meet 60 m away from the finish line after the hare reverses direction.
