Question

A gym introduced a new stepper machine to their clients. For trials two gym instructors Jerry and Tom gave the demo run to everyone. The steps taken by jerry and Tom are in the ratio 1:3. Jerry takes 10 steps whereas Tom takes 15 steps to complete the demo. what is the total number of steps in the stepper machine?​

Answer 1

Given,

Ratio of steps = 1:3

Number of steps taken by Jerry= 10

Number of steps taken by Tom= 15

To find,

The total number of steps in the stepper machine

Solution,

Let the number of steps for the demo run be x

Using the given ratio, we get

Steps of Jerry= x and and Steps of tom as 3x

On adding, total number of steps in demo run would be,

⇒x+3x=10+15

⇒4x=25

⇒x=$\frac{25}{4}$

⇒x=6.25≈6

Now, on substituting the value of x=6, we get

Steps of Jerry= 6 and Steps of tom as 18

∴Total number of steps = 6+18

⇒Total number of steps =24

Hence, the total number of steps in stepper machine is 24
