Answer 1

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Distance}\mathrm{between}2\mathrm{villages}=35\frac{3}{4}\mathrm{km}=\frac{143}{4}\mathrm{km} \\ \mathrm{Distance}\mathrm{covered}\mathrm{by}\mathrm{her}=9\frac{5}{12}\mathrm{km}=\frac{113}{12}\mathrm{km} \\ \mathrm{Distance}\mathrm{to}\mathrm{be}\mathrm{travelled}=\frac{143}{4}-\frac{113}{12}=\frac{429-113}{12}=\frac{316}{12}=\frac{79}{3}=26\frac{1}{3}\mathrm{km} \end{gathered}$$
