Question

Raheem has to travel $1\frac{1}{4}$ km to reach school. What distance (in km) he travel to go to school and come back home?

• A. $2\frac{1}{2}$
• B. $1\frac{1}{2}$
• C. $2\frac{1}{4}$
• D. $1\frac{3}{4}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $2\frac{1}{2}$

Distance from home to school = $1\frac{1}{4}$


From the image we can see, Total distance = $(2\times 1km)+(2\times \frac{1}{4}km)=2+\frac{1}{2}$ = $2\frac{1}{2}km$
