Question

nathan participated in a 5k race. He walked 1/4 of the way, 3/5 of the way, and ran 3/20 of the way. How many kilometers did Nathan walk?

Answer 1

`1(1)/(4)km`

Explanation:

Total Distance for the Race= 5km

If Nathan walked
`(1)/(4)` of the race.

Then:

`\text{Distance walked by Nathan =}(1)/(4) X $Total Distance Of the Race\\=(1)/(4) X 5km\\=(5)/(4)\\=1(1)/(4)km`

Nathan walked a distance of 1.25km (in decimal fraction).
