The distance covered by one step is 2.5 feet long. how many steps would the average person take to travel 50 feet

Sagot :

20 steps. 50 divided by 2.5.

we know that

using proportion

[tex] \frac{1}{2.5} \frac{step}{ft} =\frac{x}{50} {ft} \\\\ 50*1=x*2.5 \\\\ x=\frac{50}{2.5} \\\\ x=20\ steps [/tex]

therefore

the answer is equal to

[tex] 20\ steps [/tex]
