Practicing Success
A spider climbed 37\(\frac{1}{2}\)% of the height of a pole in one hour and in the next hour it covered 20% of the remaining height. If pole's height is 200m, then the distance climbed in second hour is: |
25m 30m 35m 40m |
25m |
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)% = \(\frac{3}{8}\) and 20% = \(\frac{1}{5}\) Height covered in 1st hour: ⇒ 200 × \(\frac{3}{8}\) ⇒ 75 m Remaining height⇒ 200-75 = 125 m Height covered in 2nd hr: ⇒ 125 × \(\frac{1}{5}\) = 25m |
