Answer:

Mandaloun won the race.

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the time taken by the Hot Rod Charlie:

[tex]s = vt\\t = \frac{s}{v}[/tex]

where,

t = time taken by Hot Rod Charlie = ?

s = distance covered = 1.25 miles

v = speed of Hot Rod Charlie = 0.79 miles/min

Therefore,

[tex]t = \frac{1.25\ miles}{0.79\ miles/min} \\t = 1.58 min[/tex]

Since Hot Rod Charlie took more time (1.58 min) than the Mandaloun (1.52 min).

Therefore Mandaloun won the race.
