Question

Who amongst the following covered the same distance?

• A. Joe and Mac
• B. Mac and Sam
• C. Joe and Sam
• D. None of them

Answer 1

The correct option is C Joe and Sam

Fraction of distance covered by Joe
= $\frac{4}{10}miles$

Decimal value = 0.4 miles

Fraction of distance covered by Mac
= $\frac{30}{20}miles$ = $\frac{3}{2}miles$

Decimal value = $\frac{3\times 5}{2\times 5}=$ $\frac{15}{10}=1.5miles$

Fraction of distance covered by Sam
= $\frac{20}{50}miles$ = $\frac{2}{5}miles$

Decimal value = $\frac{2\times 2}{5\times 2}=$ $\frac{4}{10}=0.4miles$

Hence, Joe and Sam covered the same distance.
