Question

Mark is planning to run in a 10-km race he will have to run 1 4/5 km uphill, 2 7/10 km downhill, and the rest of the race on level ground how many kilometers are level

Answer 1

Uphill distance = 1 4/5 = 9/5 = 18/10 km Downhill Distance = 2 7/10 = 27/10 km Total Uphill and Downhill = 18/10 + 27/10 = 45/10 = 4.5 km Hence total level ground = Total race km - (Uphill + Downhill) =10 - 4.5 = 5.5 km Hence the answer is 5.5 km.
