Consider a turtle and a rabbit having a 1000 meter race. The turtle’s speed is 0.1 m/s and constant during the whole race. The rabbit alternates between a fast speed and resting, going 1 m/s for 10 seconds and then resting (0 m/s) for 50 seconds and repeating this pattern until it finishes. Contrary to the story books, the rabbit wins.
How much time does the rabbit win by? Express your answer in units of seconds.
