Alex and Max are running a race against each other. At the beginning of the race they are even with each other for 200 feet. Then Alex gets ahead of Max by 300 feet. Then Max gets ahead of Alex by 170 feet. Alex gets a burst of speed and gets ahead of Max by 440 feet. If the road they're running on is 5000 feet long, how many feet are there left for Max to catch up to Alex?
How many feet have Alex and Max run so far? ** So far Alex and Max are running the race for 200 + 300 + 170 + 440 = <<200+300+170+440=1110>>1,110 feet.
How many feet are left for Max to catch up to Alex? ** If the road they're racing each other on is 5000 feet long, 5000 - 1,110 feet = <<5000-1110=3890>>3,890 feet left for Max to catch up to Alex.
