Question

Shivani covered 1/10 of her journey on foot,3/5 by car and 3/10 by autorickshaw. Find by which means she covered the major part of her journey

Answer 1

Answer:

Car

Step-by-step explanation:

since denominators are 5 and 10

let us assume the total distance is 50

1/10 of 50 =1/10 * 50 = 5

3/5 of 50 =3/5 * 50 =  30

3/10 of 50 =3/10 * 50 = 15

By car she covered major part of her journey.

Instead of 50 we can assume any number which is multiple of both 5 and 10 to reduce the complexity of the problem.

let us assume 60

1/10 of 60 = 6

3/5 of 60 = 36

3/10 of 60 = 18

Answer 2

Answer:

Car

Step-by-step explanation:

Make the fraction 3/5 equivalent to 1/10 and 3/10 which is 3/5 * 2/2 = 6/10.

Now we have three like fractions with denominator 10. If we compare them, 6/10 is the largest fraction among these fractions. 6/10 of the journey is covered by car. So Shivani covered a major part of journey by car.
