Question

The length of a bridge is 140 m. The length of each of Robert's paces is 55 cm.

What is the minimum number of full paces that it would take Robert to walk the full length of the bridge?

Answer 1

255 steps

Explanation:

They give us the length of the bridge and the length of each step of Robert, therefore we must divide these values to find the number of steps necessary, but first we must pass the distance of the bridge to centimeters:

140m * 100cm / 1m = 14000

Therefore the bridge would have a length of 14000 centimeters, we divide:

14000/55 = 254.54

Which means that Robert take at least 255 steps to fully walk the bridge.
