plz answer as quick as possible

Answer:
Yes, 10K is 6.2 miles; a considerable distance.
Let x = total journey distance
by train + by taxi + by bus + by foot = total journey
(2/5)x + (1/3)x + (1/6)x + 10K = x
To get rid of all fractions, multiply by the LCM of the denominators (this is just like finding the Least Common Denominator). LCM = 30
12x + 10x + 5x + 300K = 30x
27x + 300K = 30x [group like terms]
300K = 3x [subtract 27x from both sides]
100K = x [divide both sides by 3]
A man travelled 2/5 th of his journey by train,1/3 rd by taxi 1/6 th by bus and remaining 10 km on foot . find the length of his total journey.
➡Total journey of men is 100km.
- Distance covered by train = 2/5
- Distance covered by taxi = 1/3
- Distance covered by bus = 1/6
- Distance covered by foot = 10km
- Total journey travelled by men.
In this question, we have to calculate total journey of men. So, we will find the total journey by
Distance covered by foot = Total Distance - [ Distance travelled by train + Taxi + Bus ]
Let the total distance be x
So,
Distance covered by train = 2x/5
Distance covered by taxi = 1x/3
Distance covered by bus = 1x/6
Distance covered by foot = Total Distance - [ Distance travelled by train + Taxi + Bus ]
