In Problems, use the division algorithm to rewrite each improper fraction as the sum of a quotient and proper fraction. Find the partial fraction decomposition of the proper fraction. Finally, express the improper fraction as the sum of a quotient and the partial fraction decomposition.
The Tortoise and the Hare: In a 21-meter race between a tortoise and a hare, the tortoise leaves 9 minutes before the hare. The hare, by running at an average speed of 0.5 meter per hour faster than the tortoise, crosses the finish line 3minutes before the tortoise. What are the average speeds of the tortoise and the hare?

Running a Race : In a 1-mile race, the winner crosses the finish line 10 feet ahead of the second-place runner and 20 feet ahead of the third-place runner. Assuming that each runner maintains a constant speed throughout the race, by how many feet does the second-place runner beat the third-place runner?
