Question

John has to travel 17.34 km by land and 21.79 km by sea to reach his home. The total distance he has to cover is:

• A. 39.13 km
• B. 39.03 km
• C. 38.03 km
• D. 38.13 km

Answer 1

The correct option is A 39.13 km

Distance to travel by land = 17.34 km

Distance to travel by sea = 21.79 km

∴ Total distance to cover
= (17.34 + 21.79) km

Calculating 17.34 + 21.79 through place value table, we get:


So, we can see that,
17.34 + 21.79 = 39.13

∴ The total distance John has to cover is 39.13 km.
