Question

Prateek travels 300 m from home to temple and 495 m from temple to school. The total distance (in km) travelled by him is

• A. 0.0795 km
• B. 79.50 km
• C. 795.05 km
• D. 0.795 km

Answer 1

The correct option is D 0.795 km

As we know that, $1\text{km}=1000\text{m}$ and $1m=\frac{1}{1000}\text{km}$.

Distance between home and temple $=300\text{m}=\frac{300}{1000}km=0.3\text{km}$

Similarly, distance between temple and school $\Rightarrow 495\text{m}=\frac{495}{1000}=0.495\text{km}$

$\therefore$ Total distance travelled by Prateek $=0.3+0.495=0.795\text{km}$
