Answer:
a) He will take 76 minutes in the triathlon
Explanation:
He runs 1/5 of a mile in 1/20 f hour then, by simple inspection
1/5 ⇒ 1/20 then 1/5 miles* 10 = 2 miles
1/20*hours*10 = 1/10 hours
10/10 of an hour is 60 minutes
1/10 of an hour is 6 minutes
swimming
1/3 of a mile in 1/9 of hours then
1/3mile *6 = 2 miles
1/9 of an hour * 6 = 6/9 hours or 2/3 of an hour
3/3 of an hour is 1 hour = 60 minutes
2/3 of an hour is = 40 minutes
In bike
4 miles in 1/4 hour then
4 miles *2 = 8 miles
1/4 hour* 2 = 1/2 hour = 30 minutes
Then he will do the triathlon in:
6 minutes running
40 minutes swimming
30 minutes in bike
Total 76 minutes
