Question

After travelling 40 km ramu found that he had covered only 4/5 of his total journey. Find the length of his whole journey.

Answer 1

Answer:

50 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that $\frac{4}{5}$ of Ramu's journey is 40 kilometers

So all we need to do is divide 40 by $\frac{4}{5}$ and we would get 50

Therefore, the length of the whole journey is 50 kilometers

                                  OR

We could also set-up a proportion to find the answer

$\frac{4}{5}$ = $\frac{40 kilometers}{x kilometers}$

So if you multiply 4 by 10 you get 40

and if you mulitply 5 by 10 you get 50

Answer 2

4/5 of Ramu journey is - 40 kilometres
So we divide 4/5 by 40
we find- 50 km
length if whole journey- 50 km
