How long did it take you to run your position of the race?(check the details)?

you are the last runner in a relay race. the baton is passed to you 16 secondss after your opponents pass theirs. if you run 5.5 yards per second and tie your opponent,who runs 5 yards per second,how long did it take you to run your position of the race?|||During 16 seconds your opponents are 16*5 = 80 yards ahead of you. You gain 0.5 yards/second, so it would take you 80/0.5 = 160 seconds, or 160*5.5 =880 yards to catch up with your opponents.
