Answer 1

Units: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark

Given that:
Rashi travelled 6 km.
Soham travelled 5000 m.
We have to find the ratio of their distance travelled.
We can only find the ratio if they have the same units.
First, we will convert both the distances to the same unit.

So, $6\text{km}=6\times 1000\text{m}=6000\text{m}$.

Thus, the required ratio is:

6000 m : 5000 m

$\Rightarrow$ 6:5
