Question

8. A train travelled 25 km due east and then 24 km due west.
(a) How far is the train from its original position? (b) Write a number sentence to represent this situation​

Answer 1

Solution:-

(a)Distance travelled in East=25 km

Distance travelled in West=24 km

Therefore,

total displacement=25lm-24km=1 km

Means it is 1 km Away from it's original form..

_______________

(b)Let's the train distance from point B be x

Therefore,

25-24=x

1=x

Therefore x=1
