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

Answer 1

The correct option is A 39.13 mi

Distance to be traveled by land
= 17.34 mi

Distance to be traveled by the sea
= 21.79 mi

∴ Total distance to be covered
= (17.34 + 21.79) mi

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 mi.
