Question

7. The distance between two bus stops is 75 km. A bus covers 25 km in one hour.
What fraction of the distance has been covered ? What fraction has to be
covered?​

Answer 1

AnswEr :

We're given the distance between two bus stops is 75 km.

Diagram :

$\setlength{\unitlength}{15mm}\begin{picture}(4,4)\thicklines\put(0,0){\line(1,0){4}}\put(-0.2,-0.2){\sf{Bus stop 1}} \put(1.6,0.1){\sf{75 \: km}}\put(3.4,-0.2){\sf{Bus stop 2}} \multiput( - 0.01,-0.06)(4,0){2}{ \sf{l} }}\end{picture}$

Also, they've given that the bus covers 25 km in 1 hour. We need to find the fraction of the distance has been covered !!

• Total distance = 75 km

• Distance covered in 1 hour = 25 km

So,

The fraction has been covered = $\sf \cancel\dfrac{25}{75} = \dfrac{1}{3}$

Total fraction that has to be covered by the bus will be :

$:\implies \sf \: \dfrac{75 - 25}{75} \\ \\ \\ :\implies \sf \: \dfrac{50}{75} \\ \\ \\ :\implies \sf \: \blue{\dfrac{2}{3}}$

Therefore, fraction of the distance has been covered is 1/3 and fraction has to becovered is 2/3 respectively.
