In a race, a triathlete runs 1/3 of the total distance, cycles 2/5 of the total distance, and swims the remaining distance. He swims 1,200 meters. What is the total distance of the race?

4500 meters. You find this by adding 1/3 and 2/5 which equals 11/15. This means that the remaining 4/15 is 1200 meters long. Divide 1200 by 4 in order to find the distance per 1/15 and you get 300. Multiply 300 with 15 to get the total distance of the race.

That's right! Good job
