Question

a school trip covered 1/3 road of the journey by road, 2/5 by train, 1/15 by bus and the remaining distance of 7200 m by foot. what was the total distance? what is the difference between the distances covered by train and bus?

Answer 1

Answer:

36000 m / 36 km

Step-by-step explanation:

distance covered by

road = 1/3 ⇒ 5/15

train = 2/5 ⇒ 6/15

bus = 1/15  ⇒ 1/ 15

foot = 7200 m

total distance covered by road, train and bus =  5 + 6 + 1/15 = 12/15

distance covered by foot =  15 - 12/15 = 3/15 = 7200 m  

total distance = 7200 * 5 = 36000 m

                                         =  36 km
