Question

0-6

Answer 1

Given :-

• Pranav ran 20.3 km more than Branda

• Pravin ran 38.6 km

To find :

• No. of kilometers did Brenda run.

Let :

• No. of kilometers ran by Brenda be x.

Solution:

Equation formed:-

Total distance covered by Pravan = More distance covered by Pravan + distance covered by Brenda.

Therefore:-

$\leadsto \sf38.6 = 20.3 + x$

Write the equation

$\leadsto \sf38.6 - 20.3 =x$

When we transfer 20.3 to left side the positive sign (+) will change into negative sign (–)

$\leadsto \sf x = 38.6 - 20.3$

Arrange the equation because x is always represented at left side.

$\leadsto \boxed {\pmb{\sf x = 18.3}}\star$

After subtracting 38.6 with 20.3 we will get result as 18.3 .

$\therefore \red{ \underline{ \pmb{\frak{Distance ~ covered ~by ~Brenda~ is ~equal ~to~18.3~kilometers}}}}$
