Question

Ravi travelled $3\frac{1}{2}km$ in a bus and then he walked $1\frac{1}{8}km$ to reach a town.How much did he travel to reach the town ?

Answer 1

Distance travelled by Ravi in a bus $=$ $3\frac{1}{2}km$$=\frac{7}{2}km$

Distance travelled by Ravi by walking $=$$1\frac{1}{8}km$ $=$ $\frac{9}{8}km$

Total distance Travelled $=\frac{7}{2}+\frac{9}{8}$

$=\frac{(8\times 7)+(9\times 2)}{2\times 8}$

$=\frac{56+18}{16}$

$=\frac{74}{16}$$=\frac{37}{8}=4\frac{5}{8}km$

Total distance travelled by Ravi $=4\frac{5}{8}km$
