Question

A tortoise starts running a length of 400m.after one day;the tortoise found it has only come 4/5 of the total journey.what is the distance the tortoise has still to cover?

Answer 1

Answer:

80m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraction of the distance still needed to be covered = $1-\frac{4}{5} =\frac{5}{5} -\frac{4}{5} =\frac{1}{5}$

$\frac{5}{5}$ of the distance = 400m

$\frac{1}{5}$ of the distance = $\frac{1}{5} *400 = 400$÷ $5=80$.

The tortoise still has to cover 80m.

Answer 2

Answer:

80m

Step-by-step explanation:

The tortoise still has to cover=

1 - 4/5 = 5/5 - 4/5

= 1/5

5/5 = 400 m

1/5 = 1/5 × 400 = 400 ÷ 5 = 80

1/5 = 80

the tortoise still has to cover 80m
