Question

Ram granny's house is 40km away from his house. to visit her, he covers 30km by train, 5km on foot. Find the percentage of distance he travel by each mode of transport.

Answer 1

Answer:

Percentage travelled by train = 75 %

Percentage travelled on foot = 12.5 %

Step-by-step explanation:

To find:

The percentage of distance Ram travelled by each mode of transport = ?

Given:

Total distance to be travelled = 40 km

Distance travelled by train = 30 km

Distance travelled on foot = 5 km

Steps:

Percentage travelled by train = $\bold{\dfrac{Distance\ travelled\ by\ train }{Total \distance\ to \ be \ travelled}\ x\ 100}$

                                                 = $\bold{\dfrac{30}{40} \ x \ 100}$                                                                                

                                                 = $\bold{\dfrac{300}{4} \ }$

                                                 = 75 %

Percentage travelled on foot = $\bold{\dfrac{Distance\ travelled\ on\ foot }{Total \distance\ to \ be \ travelled}\ x\ 100}$

                                                 = $\bold{\dfrac{5}{40} \ x \ 100}$

                                                 = $\bold{\dfrac{50}{4} }$

                                                 = 12.5 %
