Answer:
Hey mate your answer is here
Step-by-step explanation:
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]
Answer:
man = x
x travelled = 3/8
8/8 - 3/8 =5/8
5/8 = 30 km( given )
5/30 =6
that is one unit is 6 km
3 x 6 = 18
so he travelled 18 km
and the total distance =18 + 30 = 48
