Answer 1

Given:

In a 1.5km race, Rajesh completed 750m in 2 minutes.

To Find:

Find the percentage of the race covered by Rajesh in 2 minutes

Solution:

It is given that Rajesh completes 750m in 2 minutes of a 1.5km race to find the percentage of the race completed by him we need to use the basic formula of percentage i.e.

                                $Percentage=(\frac{Distance covered}{Total distance}) *100$

Now putting the values in the formula

Distance covered=750m

Total distance=1500m

Therefore,

$Percentage=\frac{750}{1500}*100\\=\frac{750}{15}*100$

=50%

Hence, the percentage of the race covered by Rajesh is 50%.
