At a time of 30 seconds a runner passes a distance marker labeled "125 meters." If the velocity of the runner is +5.0 m/s, when did the runner pass the distance marker for 75 meters?

Explanation

He runs at 5m/s, so in 30 s he should be at 150m.  So you have to do 125m - 150m and you'll get -25m, this is his initial position. They want to know the time when he hits 75m, so you would do 75 + 25, and get 100. Then do 100m / 5m/s, and you will get 25 seconds.

pretty sure it's false
