Question

In a marathon of 5 km, Manish runs $\frac{3}{5}$ of the distance and Kushagra runs half the total distance, then who covers more distance?

Answer 1

Distance covered by Manish = $\frac{3}{5}$ of the total distance = $\frac{3}{5}\times 5=3km$

Distance covered by Kushagra

=$\frac{1}{2}$ of the total distance

= $\frac{1}{2}\times 5=\frac{5}{2}=2\frac{1}{2}km$

Comparing two fractions, we have

3 > $2\frac{1}{2}$ km

Hence, Manish covered more distance than Kushagra.
