Question

The length of a bridge is 170 m. The length of each of Robert's paces is 60 cm. What is the minimum number of full paces that it would take Robert to walk the full length of the bridge?

Answer 1

283

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Length of bridge = 170m

Robert's paces = 60cm to meters = 60/100 = 0.6m

Number of paces (P) required to cover the full length of the bridge is;

P = 170/0.6

P = 283.33 ≈ 283

Therefore, the minimum number of full paces that it would take Robert to walk the full length of the bridge is 283.
