Question

Ahmad run 5 kilometres. If he completed 15% of the race. How many kilometres is the race?

Answer 1

33.33

Explanation:

15%/100 and 15%=5KM 5=15% so make it 1% 5÷15=0.3333..... = 1% therefore time it to 100×0.3333 (1%) = 33.33KM is the total race KM

Answer 2

x = 33.33 kilometers

Explanation:

you could make use of the percent, base, and rate formula here. we know that 15% is the rate, 5 kilometers is the percent, therefore what we are looking for is our base.

`(percent)/(base) =(rate)/(100)`

`(5)/(x)=(15)/(100)` ; cross multiply.

15x = 500

x = 33.33 kilometers

therefore, the race is 33.33 kilometers.
