A new path that is 2.5 kilometers long is being built. So far, 1/5 of the path has been built. How long is the section that has been built?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

The section of the path that has been built  = 0.5 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total length of the path to be built  = 2.5 km

Let us assume the section of the path that has been built =  s  km

Now, 1/5 the of the path is build.

⇒  s = 1/5 the of the total path

Now, [tex] \frac{1}{5} \times (2.5) = 0.5[/tex]

⇒ s = 0.5 km

Hence, the section of the path that has been built  = 0.5 km.
