Question

A man travelled one-third of a distance by bus, two- fifth by a taxi and the remaining 28km on scooter. how much distance did he travel?

Answer 1

420 km is the total distance travelled

Answer 2

distance covered by bus = 1/3
distance covered by taxi = 2/5
distance covered on scooter
= 1 - ( 1/3 + 2/5 )
= 1 - 11/15
= 4/15

let total distance covered = x
4/5 of x = 28 km
4/5 * x = 28
x = 28 * 5/4
x = 35 km
