Time it took runner A to complete the marathon = 26.2 / 5.6 = 4 hrs 41 mins
Time it took runner B to complete the marathon = 26.2 / 6.4 = 4 hrs 6 mins
Time it took runner B to complete the marathon relative to when runner A started = 30 mins + 4 hrs 6 mins = 4 hrs 36 mins
Therefore, runner B will finnish ahead of runner A.
Let x be the time the two runners are at the same point, then
5.6x + 5.6(0.5) = 6.4x
6.4x - 5.6x = 2.8
0.8x = 2.8
x = 2.8/0.8 = 3.5
Therefore, runner B will catch up with runner A 3.5 hours after runner A starts the race.

Answer:
2nd possible answer is the correct one; the const. of var. is 1/3.
Step-by-step explanation:
xy = 1/3 can be rewritten in inverse variation format: Divide both sides by x to isolate y. Then y = (1/3)(1/x). The constant of (inverse) variation is 1/3.
