Given :
distance of school from Nandini's house = 9/10km
Distance covered by Nandini by bus = 1/2 km
To find :
How long is other piece.
Solution :
by walking Distance covered by Nandini
= 9/10 - ½
LCM of 10 and 2 = 10
= 9/10 - ½
= 9 x 1/10 x 1 - 1 x 5/ 2 x 5
= 9/10 - 5/10
= 9 - 5/10
= 4/10
= 2/5
=> Hence, she walked 2/5 km.
