Answer 1

Answer:

19/6 km from initial place. (3.167km)

Step-by-step explanation:

North - 17/2

South - 16/3

Total Distance = 17/2 - 16/3

17x3/2x3 - 16x2/3x2 (LCM)

= 51-32/6 = 19/6 km from initial place. (3.167km)

Answer 2

Answer:

final position= 17/2-16/3

= 19/6

= 3 1/6 km

Therefore 3 1/6 km from initial point
