A 14yr old boy runs 100m in 14 seconds, how long will it take a 6yr old boy?

It depends. Is the 6 year old boy 6/14 as fast as the 14 year old boy [in which case it would be 14 * 14 / 6 sec]? Or maybe the six year old is more interested world around him and will pause to look around in wonder and through [isn't that a much more interesting way to spell throw - just think of all the english pronunciations] all timing off. Or maybe ...
 
Are you under the impression that there is some automatic relationship between fast a 14 year old boy can run compared to how fast a 6 year old boy can run?
