Question

8. Kamau and Mutisya started to walk from

the same point towards opposite
directions. After some time, each had
made 40 strides. If Kamau's and Mutisya's
strides were 75 cm and 77 cm respectively,
what was the distance between them after
the 40 strides?​

Answer 1

6080 cm OR 60.8m

Explanation:

75 x 40 = 3000 cm

77 x 40 = 3080 cm

They are moving in perfectly opposite directions, which makes a straight line.

3000 + 3080 = 6080 cm = 60.8m
