Question

nathan participated in a 5k race. He walked 1/4 of the way, 3/5 of the way, and ran 3/20 of the way. How many kilometers did Nathan walk?

Answer 1

Answer:

$1\dfrac{1}{4}km$

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Distance for the Race= 5km

If Nathan walked $\frac{1}{4}$ of the race.

Then:

$\text{Distance walked by Nathan =}\dfrac{1}{4} X Total Distance Of the Race\\=\dfrac{1}{4} X 5km\\=\dfrac{5}{4}\\=1\dfrac{1}{4}km$

Nathan walked a distance of 1.25km (in decimal fraction).
