Given:
I have walked 20% of the way to school.
I have 1200 metres more to walk than when I have 20% of the walk remaining.
To find:
The distance from home to school.
Solution:
Let x be the distance from home to school.
I have already walked 20% of the way to school and i have 1200 metres more to walk than when I have 20% of the walk remaining.
It means 1200 is of the total distance from home to school.
Therefore, the distance from home to school is 2000 metres.
First you make 15 a fraction by putting it over 1.
Then you make 6 2/3 a mixed fraction.
To do this, you multiply 6 with 3 and add 2 to it. Then you put the number over 3.
We get
6 X 3 = 18
18 +2 = 20
20/3
Now, we divide 15/1 with 20/3.
When we divide it, we actually cross multiply it. Basically, we flip the fraction and multiply it.
So we get 15/1 X 3/20 =
.
We get 45/20 which can be simplified to 9/5 which can be simplified to 2 1/4.
So the answer is 9/4 or 2 1/4.
