When Krishna travelled 25 km, he found that 3/5
of his journey was still left. What was the length of the whole journey?



Answer :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the total length of Krishna's journey.

Fraction representing the completed journey: Since 3/5 of the journey was left, the completed portion is 1 - (3/5) = 2/5.

Relating the completed part to the total distance: We know that 2/5 of the total journey is equal to 25 km.

Finding the total distance: To find the whole journey, we can set up a proportion: (2/5) represents 25 km, so what distance does 1 (the whole journey) represent?

Therefore, we have: (2/5) / Total Distance = 25 km / 1

To solve for the total distance, we can cross-multiply:

2 * Total Distance = 25 km * 5

Total Distance = (25 km * 5) / 2

Total Distance = 125 km / 2

Total Distance = 62.5 km

So the entire length of Krishna's journey was 62.5 kilometers.
