Question

Simon walked a total of 32 kilometers by making 16 trips to school. How many trips will Simon have to walk in all to walk a total of 50 kilometers? Assume the relationship is directly proportional.

Answer 1

Simon walked a total of 32 kilometers by making 16 trips to school.

i.e. to cover 32 km , he is making 16 trip - 32 : 16

So for 1 km, he is making = 16/32 trip

for 1 km , Simon makes 1/2 trip

For, How many trips will Simon have to walk in all to walk a total of 50 kilometers :

Multipliy the 50 km to the trip taken over 1 km : 50 x 1/2 trip

To cover 50 km, the number of trip taken = 25 trips
