Question

Pradnya exercises regularly by walking along a circular path on a field. If she walks a distance of 3.825 km in 9 rounds of the path, how much does she walk in one round?

Answer 1

Total distance walked by Pradnya in 9 rounds of the path = 3.825 km

∴ Distance walked by Pradnya in one round of the path = Total distance walked by Pradnya in 9 rounds of the path ÷ 9

= 3.825 km ÷ 9

= `3825/1000 ÷ 9/1`

= `3825/1000 xx 1/9`

= `(3825 xx 9)/(1000 xx 1)`

= `425/1000`

= 0.425 km

Thus, the distance walked by Pradnya in one round is 0.425 km.

Answer 2

Step 1: Total distance walked in 9 rounds

Pradnya walks a total of 3.825 km in 9 rounds.

Step 2: Distance walked in one round

The distance for one round is:

Distance per round = `("Total distance")/("Number of rounds")`

`=3.825/9`

Step 3: Perform the division

3.825 ÷ 9 = 0.425 km

Pradnya walks 0.425 km in one round.
