Problema Solution
Robert went to his friend’s house that was 1 kilometer away from his house. When he left his house, he started jogging toward his friend's house, and then he walked the rest of the way. He jogged twice as far as he walked.
How far did he walk?
Write the answer in meters.
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' be the distance Robert walked
since he jogged twice as far as he walked the distance he jogged is 2x
the total distance he jogged and walked is 1 km = 1000 m
x + 2x = 1000
by solving we find
x = 333.33 m
