Solution

Addition of decimals
Distance travelled by Samson by bus $= 5$ km $32$ m
Distance travelled by Samson by car $= 2$ km $265$ m
Distance travelled by Samson by walk $= 1$ km $30$ m
Then, total distance travelled by Samson $= 5$ km $32$ m $+ 2$ km $265$ m $+$ $1$ km $30$ m
$= (5.032 + 2.265 + 1.030)$ km
$= 8.327$ km or $8$ km $327$ m
Hence, the total distance travelled by Samson is $8.327$ km
