Question

Esha travelled $2.15\mathrm{km}$ by walking, $5.75\mathrm{km}$ by a bus and then $30.25\mathrm{km}$ by a local train. Find the total distance travelled in metres.

Answer 1

Distance travelled by walking = $2.15\mathrm{km}$

Distance travelled by a bus = $5.75\mathrm{km}$

Distance travelled by a local train = $30.25\mathrm{km}$

Total distance travelled = $(2.15+5.75+30.25)\mathrm{km}=38.15\mathrm{km}$

We know that, $1\mathrm{km}=1000\mathrm{m}$

So, $38.15\mathrm{km}=38.15\times 1000\mathrm{m}=38150\mathrm{m}$

Hence, total distance travelled in metres = $38150\mathrm{m}$
