Question

13. Ashok and Jogesh leave home for school together. Ashok walks at 5 km/h and reaches school 3 minutes late while Jogesh cycles at 9 km/h and reaches school 5 minutes earlier. How far is their school from home?

PLEASE EXPLAIN IN STEP BY STEP.​

Answer 1

Answer:

90Km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the distance from home to school be x km

Now ashok reaches school 3 minutes late

Therefore, time taken by Ashok in terms of x is

20x hr ( as 3mins=1/20hr)

Now Jogesh reaches school 5 mins late. Therefore, time taken by Jogesh in terms of x is 12x hr (as 5mins= 1/12 hr)

Therefore,

20x+12x=(3+5) ( as both of they had reached school late therefore the duration gets added up)

32x=8

x=0.25km

Hence , the distance between the school and home is 0.25km.

I would advise you not to convert the distance in meters since in question its given kilometers.
