Question

Пішохід і велосипедист вирушили назустріч один одному з двох міст ,відстань між якими 72 км. Вони зустрілися, коли пішохід пройшов третину всієї відстані. У скільки разів відстань, яку подолав велосопедист більша, ніж відстань яку подолав пішохід?

Answer 1

1)72:3=24 км подолав пішохід до зустрічі

2)72-24= 48 км подолав велосипедист до зустрічі

3)48:24= 2 раза більша відстань яку подолав велосипедист

======================================== 

Answer 2

Problem Analysis

Two individuals, a pedestrian and a cyclist, set off towards each other from two different cities, with a distance of 72 km between them. They meet when the pedestrian has covered one-third of the total distance. We need to determine how many times the distance covered by the cyclist is greater than the distance covered by the pedestrian.

Solution

Let's denote the distance covered by the pedestrian as P and the distance covered by the cyclist as C. We know that when they meet, the pedestrian has covered one-third of the total distance, so P = 72 / 3 = 24 km.

To find the distance covered by the cyclist, we can use the fact that the total distance covered by both the pedestrian and the cyclist is 72 km. Therefore, C = 72 - P.

Now, we can calculate the ratio of the distance covered by the cyclist to the distance covered by the pedestrian: C / P.

Calculation

Let's calculate the distance covered by the cyclist and then find the ratio.

C = 72 - P = 72 - 24 = 48 km

Now, we can find the ratio: C / P = 48 / 24 = 2.

Conclusion

The distance covered by the cyclist is 2 times greater than the distance covered by the pedestrian.
