Question

In a running race, you covered 3000 m. The ratio of distance covered by walking to running is 2:13. How many meters did you walk?

Answer 1

400 m walking

Explanation:

sum the parts of the ratio , 2 + 13 = 15 parts

divide the distance covered by 15 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

then

2 parts = 2 × 200m 400 m

400 m covered by walking
