Question

11. Ramesh covers 0.6 m in each step while running
in a race of 400 m. After covering 377.2 m, he falls
down. Find out how many steps are required to
finish the race.​

Answer 1

Given :

➺ Suppose the required number of step be x

➺ Then the distance covered by Ramesh in x steps = 0.6 x

➺ It is given that he has already covered 377.2 m out of a total of 400 m.

➺ Therefore, the equation can be interpreted as,

Equation :

$: \implies \sf 0.6 + 377.2 = 400$

$: \implies \sf0.6x = 400 - 377.2$

$: \implies \sf0.6x = 22.8$

$: \implies \sf \: x = { \sf\frac{22.8}{0.6} }$

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \dag \sf \: x = 38$

$\fbox \red{ \sf \: So \: the \: steps \: remaining \: is \: 38.}$
