Question

At 8 a.m., Sothy goes for a walk and plans to walk `10000` steps. At 8:23 a.m., his phone tells him that he has taken `2000` steps.

If he continues at this rate, at what time will he reach `10000` steps?

Answer 1

9:55 a.m.

Explanation:

Sothy starts at 8 a.m. and plans for 10,000 steps. At 8:23 a.m., she walked 2000. We are solving for when she reaches 10,000 steps.

This means that she walks 2,000 steps in 23 minutes

If she walks 2,000 steps in 23 minutes, then we can multiply by 5 to get 10,000 steps in 115 minutes.

Now, we need to add 115 minutes to 8 a.m.

we can round 115 minutes to 120 minutes.

If you add 120 minutes to 8 a.m., you get 10 a.m.

Now subtract the 5 minutes you added earlier to get 9:55 a.m.
