Question

Ben ran 900m more than foster who ran a distance of 1.3km. Calculate the distance Ben ran in metres
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer is 2200 metres

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance Foster ran = 1.3 km

1 km = 1000 m

Distance Ben ran more than Foster = 900 m

Therefore, Total distance Ben ran =

1000 m + 900 m = 2200 m

Answer 2

        $\text{Let the distance Ben ran be }x$

        $\text{The question states that Ben ran 900 m more than Foster who ran 1.3 km}$

$\implies \text{Distance ran by Foster} = 1.3 \: km$

        $\text{We know that }1\:km = 1000\:m$

$\implies \text{Distance ran by foster} = 1300\:m$

        $\text{Now applying it into an equation we get}$

$\implies \: x = 1300 + 900$

$\implies \: x = 2200 \: m$

$\implies \boxed{\text{Distance ran by Ben} = 2.2 \: km}$
