उत्तर
Devi Prasad ran one round the field
= 500 m + 500 m + 500 m + 500 m
= 2000 m
= 2000 ÷ 1000 km
= 2 km
(1) 2 km = 2 × 1000 m
= 2000 m
So to complete 2000 m, Devi Prasad must complete
= 2000 m ÷ 400 m
= 5 rounds
Devi Prasad has to run 5 rounds of the park.
(b) Devi Prasad covers a distance in 8 rounds = 400 m × 8
= 3200 m
= 3000 m + 200 m ...(3000 m = 3000 ÷ 1000 = 3 km)
= 3 km 200 m
That every day he ran 3 km and 200 m.
