Question

Ram takes 11/5 minutes to walk across a park and Shyam takes 13/5 minutes to do the same . Who is faster and by what fraction?

Answer 1

time taken by ram to walk across the park

= 11 / 5 minutes

time taken by shyam to walk across the park

= 13 /5 minutes

since, 13 > 11 and 5 = 5

thus , 13 / 5 > 11 / 5

shyam takes more time than ram . so ram is faster than shyam.

Find the difference :
----------------------------

difference = (13 / 5 ) - ( 11/ 5 )

= (13 - 11 )/ 5 = 2 / 5 minutes

therefore, Ram is faster than shyam by 2/ 5 minutes.

Answer : required fraction = 2/ 5 min.
