Let 5km/h = the ram's rate at faster pace
4km/h = the ram's rate at slower pace
If ram walks from his house at 5km/h he reaches school 5 min early
and if he walks 4 km/h he reaches 5 min late.
5(x-5)= 4(x+5)
5x-25 = 4x+20
x = 45
substitute x with 45
45-5=40
45+5=50
Distance = (rate)(time)
d = (5)(40)
d = 200km
d = (4)(50)
d = 200km
The distance ram travels from its house going to the school is 200km.
