In a hurdle race, Nidhi is over hurdle B andof the way through the race, as shown in Fig. 2.7.

Then, answer the following:

a) Where will Nidhi be, when she isof the way through the race?

b) Where will Nidhi be when she isof the way through the race?

c) Give two fractions to tell what part of the race Nidhi has finished when she is over hurdle C.

Since when Nidhi has completed 2/6 of the race, She is at hurdle B, this means the hurdles are placed equidistant from each other and as there are six hurdles, the race is divided into six parts.

a) So, when she is of the way through the race, she will be at hurdle D.

b) When she is of the way through the race, she will be at hurdle E.

c) When Nidhi is over hurdle C, then she would have completed of the way.

Or, as she is half way through the race, she would have completed 1/2 of the race.

∴ Two fractions to tell what part of the race Nidhi has finished when she is over hurdle C will be and .
