Question 15 • HOPE Scholars- Math Grade 8
A positive time difference means the runner took longer than their personal-best time, so they ran slower. Gregor’s time was 5.6 seconds over his best, and Isabelle’s was 3.2 seconds over hers. Juan matched his best, while Hiroki and Karen were under theirs. The correct choice is Gregor and Isabelle.
