Question

Neil travelled $12$ $\mathrm{km}$ $50$ $\mathrm{m}$ by train and $14$ $\mathrm{km}$ $250$ $\mathrm{m}$ by bus. How much distance did he cover?

Answer 1

Finding the distance he covered:

Distance travelled by train $=$ $12$ $\mathrm{km}$ $50$ $\mathrm{m}$

Distance travelled by bus $=$ $14$ $\mathrm{km}$ $250$ $\mathrm{m}$

Total distance $=$ $($ $12$ $\mathrm{km}$ $50$ $\mathrm{m}$ $+$ $14$ $\mathrm{km}$ $250$ $\mathrm{m}$ $)$

$=$ $\mathrm{km}$ $\mathrm{m}$

$12$ $050$

$+$ $14$ $250$

$\underline{\overline{26300}}$

Hence, the total distance travelled by Neil is $26$ $\mathrm{km}$ $300$ $\mathrm{m}$ $=$ $26.3$ $\mathrm{km}$
