An athlete has run 200m of a 1.5km race. What fraction is she through the race? Give your answer in simplest form.​

Sagot :

Parrain

Based on the distance of the race and the distance the athlete has already ran, the fraction is 2/15.

The athlete has run 200m out of a total of 1.5km.

Fraction of race already ran

First thing to do is to convert the kilometers to meters so that the units are the same:

= 1.5 km x 1,000 meters per kilometer

= 1,500 meters

The fraction is therefore:

= Distance ran / Total distance

= 200 / 1,500

= 2 / 15

In conclusion, the athlete has ran 2/15 of the race.
