Question

Someone please answer this quickly!

The Annual Triathlon conducted in a school consists of 3km 50m cycling and 1km 250m running. The rest of the distance has to be covered by swimming. If the total distance is 5km, how much distance is covered in swimming?

Answer 1

Hello mate!!
Here's ur answer:-
Total distance for the triathlon=5 km
Distance covered for cycling=3km 50m
Distance covered for running=1km250m
So, total distance covered in the two activities=[3km 50m+1km 250m]= 4km 300m
Hence distance covered in swimming= 5km-4km 300m. (5km=5000m &4km 300m=4300m)
Therefore distance covered in Swimming= (5000m-4300m) = 700m
So distance covered in Swimming is 700m
Hope the answer helps you

Answer 2

Hi Alena,

Here is your answer:

Cycling- 3 km 50 m

Running- 1 km 250 m

Swimming- ?

If the total distance is 5km how much distance is covered in swimming?

=  3km 50m + 1 km 250m

= 4 km 300 m

= 4 km 300 m - 5km 000m

= 0 km 700m

therefore 700 m.
