Mens mile vs Womens mile math

Mens mile is 3:43.13

Womens mile is 4:12.33

Dawit runs a mile in 4:52.17 that means compared to the top mile on World Athletics, 3:43.13, he is a creation.

52/60 = .86, 4.86 minutes compared to 43/60 = .716, 3.716 minutes

4.86 minutes compared to 3.716 minutes which is what all Men mile times are compared to. How do you compare each incoming number so that when the comparison gives you a result, that number is compared to another number that is a base like 3.716. That base number is 4.2 minutes. If the goal is to be below 3.716 or 4.2. What happens?

Dawit is 1.144 over 3.716 and 0.66 over 4.2

This is comparison one: 1.144 minutes over 3.716 (base a) minutes and 0.66 minutes over 4.2 minutes (base aa)

Comparison two: Any incoming number can be greater than or less than 3.716. That incoming number can be compared to the two bases.

  • The number 4.86 (incoming number) is 1.144 minutes over

(base a) and 0.66 minutes over base (aa).

base (a)

For that number to go down

It is easier for that number to go down to (base aa) than it is for it to go down to (base a) It is quicker. It is quicker by

4.86 can get to base (a) 4.86 to 4.2 is

Lets imagine these numbers to be a triangle.

The difference is a shape.

The Dawit shape gets smaller and smaller as the incoming number is lower and lower and the bases can change and the same shape applies.
