Answer 1

Answer:

the second route was shorter

Answer 2

Answer:

the route was shorter when he took a taxi.

By 6km and 500 km shorter.

Step-by-step explanation:

you will add the 3km 500m, 250 km and 75 km.

you need to add the km's first.

3km+250km+75km= 326km

and add the 500m

So, it will become 326km 500m. That's the total route when he came to the village and when he go back home, he just travelled 320km.

To find how much shorter the route when he used a taxi, you need to subtract 326km 500m and 320km.

326km 500m-320km=6km 500m
