 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]

 

The total journey was 100 K
