Question

Sam is traveling to a nearby town to visit his friend. He has to cover a distance of 18.7 km to reach his friend's house. He travels for 15.3 km on a bus and takes a taxi for the remaining distance. What distance (in km) does he travel in the taxi?

• A. 3.4

Answer 1

The correct option is A 3.4
Distance traveled in taxi
$=\text{Total distance}-\text{Distance traveled in the bus}$
$=18.7\text{km}-15.3\text{km}$

Let's subtract by aligning the decimal point.
Distance traveled in the taxi is 3.4 km.
