Amir Gross · Answer 1

4.83 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The one who took the shortest time ro cover the same distance is regarded as the first runner to complete the race. Since 4.83<4.89 then it means the shortest time is 4.83 minutes. This means that Brandon finished the race first since he took less duration compared to Ricardo. The time for Brandon is given as 4.83 minutes hence this is the duration required in the question.
