Question

esha school is 4 km 500 m from sun apartment. shrutis school is 5 km 250 m from star apartments. if both esha and shrutis study in the some school which apartment is farther from the school and by how much?​

Answer 1

Here it is given that Esha's apartment is 4 km 500 m away from school and Shruti's apartment is 5 km 250 m away from the school

We have to find which apartment is farther from school

First, we will convert all the values in km

500 m = 500 / 1000 km

          = 0.5 km

So, 4 km 500 m = 4 + 0.5

                         = 4.5 km

250 m = 250/ 1000 km

          = 0.25 km

So, 5 km 250 m = 5 + 0.25

                          = 5.25 km

Now, clearly 5.25 km is more than 4.5 km

Therefore, Shruti's apartment is farther from the school.

Answer 2

esha from Sun apartment = 4 km 500 m

Shrutis from Star apartment = 5 km 250 m

= 9 km 750 m
