Question

15. To catch a train, a man has to go a distance of 4 km. He walks some of the way but has to
run a certain distance. The ratio of the distance walked to the distance run is 5 : 3.
(a) How far does he run?
(b) Find the ratio of the distance walked to the whole distance.
(c) Find the ratio of the distance run to the whole distance.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance covered to catch a bus = 4 km

Speed of walking = 3 km/hr

Speed of running = 5 km/hr

Total time taken = 1 hour

To find : Distance he walk = ?

Solution:

Distance covered by walking = x

Distance covered by running = 4-x

According to question, we get:

Hence, he walk 1.5 km.

Answer 2

Answer:

a) 1500m

b) 2500/4000 = 5:8

c) 1500/4000= 3:8

Step-by-step explanation:

5x distance he walked + 3x distance he ran total distance = 4000 m

so distance walked =2500m and distance ran =1500m
