Question

a person travel 1/3of the distance by train .2/5 by bus if you travel the remaining distance of 64 km by boat then the total distance covered by him is

Answer 1

Given,

Distance traveled by train = 1/3

Distance traveled by bus = 2/5

Distance traveled by boat = 64 km

__________________________________________________________

Let total distance be x

So, x/3 + 2x/5 + 64 = x

x - x/3 - 2x/5 = 64

(15x - 5x - 6x) / 15 = 64

4x = 64*15

x = 64*15 / 4

x = 240

Hence total distance covered is 240 kms.
