Question

Dolma wants to participate in a triathloan competition where she has to swim cycle and run some distance the cycling distance is 4 times the swimming pool distance the running distance is 4 kilometre more than the swimming distance and is 14 km less than the cycling distance find the total distance of the race​

Answer 1

Answer:

cycle:swim=4:1

run=4+swim

=>run-swim=4 ----(1)

run=cycle-14

=>cycle-run=14 -----(2)

from (1) and (2)

cycle-swim=18

=>4swim-swim=18

swim=6km

cycle=24km

from (1)

run=10km

total distance =6+24+10=40km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Swimming = X

Cycling = 4X

Running = X+4

Also Running = 4X-14

Thus, 4X-14 = X+4 (solve linear equation)

4X-X=4+14

3X=18

X=6  

Swimming = 6; Cycling = 24 and Running = 10

6+24+10 = 40
