Question

Shaloo runs along the sides of a Square Garden which is 85 m long. If she covers 50 cm in one step, how many steps will she take to run once round the garden?

Answer 1

Perimeter
$85 \times 4 = 340$
340 metres.

Now each step = 50 CM = 1/2 Metres

total steps=
$340 \div 0.5 = 340 \times 2 = 680$
680 Steps

Answer 2

Given :

Side of square garden = 85 m

To Find :

If she covers 50 cm in one step, how many steps will she take to run once round the garden?

Solution:

Side of square garden = 85 m

1 m = 100 cm

85 m = 8500 cm

So, Side of square garden = 8500 cm

Perimeter of square garden =$4 \times Side = 8500 \times 4 =34000 cm$

Shaloo runs along the sides of a Square Garden

She covers 50 cm in 1 step

She covers 1 cm in steps = $\frac{1}{50}$

She covers 34000 cm in steps = $\frac{34000}{50}=680 steps$

Hence She will take 680 steps  to run once round the garden
