Question

Ted likes to run long distances. He can run 20 km 95 minutes. He wants to know how many kilometers (k) he will go if he runs at the same pace for 285 minutes.

Answer 1

He will run 60km in 285 minutes.

Answer 2

Ted can run 60 km in 285 minutes.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Ted can run 20 km in 95 minutes.

Now, calculate how much he can run in 1 minute.

`20 Km = 95 minutes`

`(20)/(95) Km = 1 minutes`

`(4)/(19) Km = 1 minutes`

Now, calculate the distance cover by him if he runs at the same pace for 285 minutes.

Multiply both the sides of the above equation with 285.

`(4)/(19)* 285 Km = 285 minutes`

`4* 15 Km = 285 minutes`

`60Km = 285 minutes`

Hence, ted can run 60 km in 285 minutes.
