Question

During a race a gwen jogged for 45 minutes. If the ratio is the time she jogged to the time she walked was 5:1 how many minutes did she walk?

Answer 1

9 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $t_{jog}$ be the time for which gwen jogged.

Let $t_{walk}$ be the time for which gwen walked.

It is given that the ratio of the time she jogged to the ratio of the time she walked is $5:1$

$\frac{t_{jog}}{t_{walk}}=\frac{5}{1}$

It is also given that gwen jogged for $45$ minutes.

So,$t_{jog}=45$

$\frac{45}{t_{walk}}=\frac{5}{1}$

$t_{walk}=\frac{1}{5} \times 45=9$

So,gwen walked for 9 minutes
