Math Problem Statement
A hare and a tortoise decided to race each other. They began running at the same time. After the hare gained a lead of 35 m, he stopped to rest while waiting for the tortoise to at least reach the point where he had reached. But he lost track of time and when he woke up after 280 sec , he saw that the tortoise had gained a lead of 35 m. So he immediately started running and lost the race by 7 m. What is the ratio of the time that the hare ran before going to steep and the time he ran áfter waking from sleep?
