Question

Rishabh civered 50% of the distance from his home to the school which is 5 km . How much distance did he cover?​

Answer 1

The mathematical problem is solved below :

It is given that,

Total distance from Rishabh's home to the school is = 5 km

And, distance covered by Rishabh from his home to school is = 50%

To find : Distance covered by Rishabh

So, to calculate the distance travelled by Rishabh, we have to multiply 50% with the total distance from his home to the school.

Let us first convert 50% into the form of fraction. So, it will be :

$50\%$

$= \frac{50}{100}$

Now,

$50\% \: of \: 5$

$\frac{50}{100} \times 5$

$\frac{1}{2} \times 5$

$\frac{5}{2}$

$2.5$

So, Rishabh has covered 2.5 km

Answer 2

Given: Rishabh covered $50$% of the distance from his home to the school which is $5\ km$.

To Find: How much distance did he cover.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,

        $50$% means $\frac{50}{100}=\frac{1}{2}$

First we have to define $50$% of $5\ km$,

$=\frac{1}{2}\times 5$

$=2.5\ km$

Thus, $2.5\ km$ distance Rishabh cover.
