Question

In a 100m race a beats b by 10m.b beats c by 5m. by how many meters does a beats c?

Answer 1

Hii student,

# Answer - 15m.

# Explaination-

Consider, x, y and z be the distances covered by a, b and c when race ended.

Now Given is-

a won the race.

Hence, x = 100m

a beat b by 10m

Hence, y = x-10 = 90m

b beat c by 5m

Hence, z = y-5 = 85

To calculate distance by which a beat c,

x-z = 100-85 = 15m

Hence, a beat c by 15m.

Hope this helps you...

Answer 2

Answer:

14.5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

according to the ratio of a:b:c

100:90:85.5
