How many 60cm long rulers need to be placed end to end to cover 1.5km?

Answer»

1.5 Km = 1500 m


1 m = 100 cm


=> 1500 m = 1500 * 100 = 1,50,000 cm


So 1 SCALE = 60 cm, then how many scales will EQUAL to 1,50,000 cm


PRODUCT of means = Product of Extremes


1 * 1,50,000 = 60 * x


=> x = 1,50,000 / 60


=> x = 2500


Hence 2500 scales of 60 cm each is required to cover a DISTANCE of 1.5 km
