Question

In a race , Ram covers 5 km in 20 min. How much distance will he cover in 100 min ?

Answer 1

5 km in 20 minutes

?? km in 100 minutes

How much distance would Ram cover?

Answer 2

We can set it up as a proportion

\(\dfrac{5}{20} = \dfrac{x}{100}\)

Or if you want,

Ram runs 5 km in 20 minutes

If he runs 100 minutes, that's 5 times longer right?
20 * 5 = 100 minutes

So then that means he runs 5 times the distance
So what is 5 * 5 = ??
