Question

Ram and Sam took two different routes to travel from School to Home. How much distance did each travel in meters?

• A. Ram: 2.5 m, Sam: 1.5 m
• B. Ram: 0.25 m, Sam: 0.15 m
• C. Ram: 1.5 m, Sam: 1.5 m
• D. Ram: 0.15 m, Sam: 0.15 m

Answer 1

The correct option is A Ram: 2.5 m, Sam: 1.5 m

Total distance travelled by Ram is 50 cm + 50 cm +50 cm + 50 cm +50 cm = 250 cm.
Total distance travelled by Sam is 150 cm.
We know that, 1 m = 100 cm
Or 100 cm = 1 m
So, $1cm=\frac{1}{100}m$
As Ram travelled 250 cm, thus $250cm=\frac{250}{100}m=2.5m$
Sam travelled 150 cm, which becomes $\frac{150}{100}m=1.5m$
