Question
A man covers 500 m on foot, 30 km on the bike and 70 km by car.
What percent of his total journey is covered on foot?
- 4.97%
- 49.75%
- 0.49%
- 0.04%
Solution
First, we need to convert all distances to the same unit. In this case, we'll convert everything to meters because the distance covered on foot is given in meters.
1 km = 1000 m
So, 30 km on the bike is 30,000 m and 70 km by car is 70,000 m.
The total distance covered is the sum of all these distances:
500 m (on foot) + 30,000 m (on bike) + 70,000 m (by car) = 100,500 m
Next, we find the percentage of the total distance that was covered on foot. The formula to find the percentage is:
(Distance on foot / Total distance) * 100%
So, (500 m / 100,500 m) * 100% = 0.497%
So, the man covered approximately 0.497% of his total journey on foot. The closest answer to this is 0.49%.
