Question

A team of 8 runners runs a 6 km relay race. Each runner runs the same distance. How many metres does each runner run?

• A. 750 m
• B. 600 m
• C. 6,000 m
• D. 40 m

Answer 1

The correct option is A 750 m

8 runners complete a 6 km relay race.

Each runner runs the same distance.

1 km = 1,000 m

6 km = 6 $\times$ 1000 m

= 6000 m

Distance covered by each runner =
$\frac{6,000}{8}$
= 750 m

Hence, each runner run 750 m.
