Question

A man travelled 2/5 of his journey by train, 1/3 by bus and the remaining 3 km by foot. What is the length of his total journey?

Answer 1

Let the length of total journey be x km,

According to the question :

Distance traveled by train is 2 / 5 of the distance of his journey, it means that the distance traveled by train is 2 / 5 × x = 2x / 5

Distance traveled by bus is 1 / 3 of the distance of his journey, it means that the distance traveled by bus is 1 / 3 × x = x / 3

Distance traveled by foot is 3 km.

total distance = x km

Distance traveled by train + distance traveled by bus + distance traveled by foot = x km

$\dfrac{2x}{5} + \dfrac{x}{3}$+ 3 = x

3 = $x - \dfrac{x}{3} - \dfrac{2x}{5}$

3 = $\dfrac{ 15x - 5x - 6x}{15}$

3 × 15 = 4 x

45 / 4 = x

11.25 = x

Therefore length of total journey is 11.25 km  

Answer 2

Hey ur answer ......

★let the total journey Be x
___________________

★According to the question
____________________

★Distance travelled by train=2/5
=>2/5 of x
=>2/5x

_______________________

★Distance travelled by bus=1/3
=>1/3 of x
=>1/3x

________________________

★Distance on foot is 3 km
__________________

★Total distance is equal to x km

_______________________

★Distance travelled by train +Distance travelled by bus +Distance travelled by foot is equal to X kilometre

____________________________
★
=>2x/5+x/3+3=x
=>3=x-x/3-2x/5
=>3=15x-5x-5x/15
=>3×15=4x
=>x=45/4
=>11.25

★Hence,your answer is 11.25km...
