Question

The distance covered by one step is 2.5 feet long. how many steps would the average person take to travel 50 feet

Answer 1

20 steps. 50 divided by 2.5.

Answer 2

we know that

using proportion

`(1)/(2.5) (step)/(ft) =(x)/(50) {ft} \\\\ 50*1=x*2.5 \\\\ x=(50)/(2.5) \\\\ x=20\ steps`

therefore

the answer is equal to

`20\ steps`
