Question

In a relay race of 100 1/3 each of the three runners runs the exact equal distance. What is the distance run by each of them?

Answer 1

Dear student
$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Total}\mathrm{distance}=100\frac{1}{3}=\frac{301}{3}=100.33\left(\mathrm{approx}.\right) \\ \mathrm{It}\mathrm{is}\mathrm{given}\mathrm{that}3\mathrm{runners}\mathrm{runs}\mathrm{exactly}\mathrm{equal}\mathrm{distance}, \\ \mathrm{so}\mathrm{distance}\mathrm{run}\mathrm{by}\mathrm{each}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{them}=\frac{301}{3}÷3=\frac{301}{3}\times \frac{1}{3}=\frac{301}{9}=33.44\left(\mathrm{approx}.\right) \end{gathered}$$
