Please solve these word problem. During a triathlon, Sharon swam 1/4 of the total route and cycled 3/5 of the remaining route. She jogged the rest of the route.If she jogged 3600 m, find the total distance of the route.
Hey, I am not going to do more without any indication that you are trying.
X meters = Total distance.
X - x/4 = 3x/4 meters remaining.
3x/4 - (3/5*3x/4) = 3x/4 - 9x/20 = 15x/20 - 9x/20 = 6x/20 = 3x/10 m. left.
3x/10 = 3600.
3x = 36,000,
X =
To solve this word problem, we need to break it down into smaller steps:
Step 1: Determine the distance Sharon jogged.
Given: Sharon jogged 3600 m.
Since Sharon jogged the remaining distance after swimming and cycling, the distance she jogged represents the 1/5 part of the total distance (1 - 1/4 - 3/5).
Let's set up an equation to represent this:
1/5 * total distance = 3600 m
Step 2: Solve for the total distance.
To solve for the total distance, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
Multiply both sides of the equation by 5 to cancel out the fraction:
1/5 * total distance * 5 = 3600 m * 5
total distance = 18000 m
Therefore, the total distance of the triathlon route is 18000 meters.
