Answer:
The total distance of the triathlon route is 12,000 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
If Sharon swims and circle and runs, then the addition of the distances covered swimming, circling and running makes the total distance covered.
Given that she swims 1/4 of the total route and cycles 3/5 of the remaining route. She runs the rest of the route. If she runs 3,600 meters
Let the total distance be x
she swims 1/4 of x, remaining distance will be 3x/4.
If she circles 3/5 of the remaining route, the remaining distance after cycling will
=3x/4 - (3/5 ×3x/4)
=3x/4 - 9x/20
=6x/20
if she runs the remaining distance = 3,600 meters
Then 6x/20 = 3600
6x = 20 × 3600
x = 12,000 meters
