Question

A man travelled 2/11 of his journey by coach , 17/22 by rail and walked the remaining 1 km how far did he go?​

Answer 1

Answer:

22 kms

Step-by-step explanation:

A man travelled 2/11 of his journey by coach, 17/22 by rail and walked the remaining 1 km

Let the total journey be x kms

Man travelled 2/11 of his journey by coach

2/11 of x = 2x/11

Man travelled 17/22 by rail

17/22 of x = 17x/22

and walked the remaining 1 km

Total journey x = 2x/11 + 17x/22 + 1 kms

x = (4x + 17x + 22)/22

x = (21x + 22)/22

Cross multiplication

22x = 21x + 22

22x - 21x = 22

x = 22 kms
