Sleeping & Distance
Written on 12:09 am by Vja Students
Mr. Wagle goes to work by a bus. One day he falls asleep when the bus still has twice as far to go as it has already gone. Halfway through the trip he wakes up as the bus bounces over some bad potholes. When he finally falls asleep again, the bus still has half the distance to go that it has already travelled. Fortunately, Mr. Wagle wakes up at the end of his trip. What portion of the total trip did Mr. Wagle sleep?
Answere:: Mr.Wagle slept through half his journey.
For half of the trip distance he was sleeping.
i.e., if X is the total distance, then X/2 of the distance he was sleeping.
