Question

During a race a gwen jogged for 45 minutes. If the ratio is the time she jogged to the time she walked was 5:1 how many minutes did she walk?

Answer 1

9 minutes

Explanation:

Let
`t_(jog)` be the time for which gwen jogged.

Let
`t_(walk)` be the time for which gwen walked.

It is given that the ratio of the time she jogged to the ratio of the time she walked is
`5:1`

`(t_(jog))/(t_(walk))=(5)/(1)`

It is also given that gwen jogged for
`45` minutes.

So,
`t_(jog)=45`

`(45)/(t_(walk))=(5)/(1)`

`t_(walk)=(1)/(5) * 45=9`

So,gwen walked for 9 minutes
