Answer 2

Answer:

Option C is correct.  Distance left to reach joseph village is 37.5 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the distance between town and his village is 150km.

Speed of scooter is 50km/h. That means he can cover 50 km in one hour.

Number of hours joseph ride the scooter=2 and 1/4

Distance covered in 2 and 1/4 hours  $=2\frac{1}{4}(50)=\frac{9}{4}(50)$

                                                              $=\frac{9}{2} (25)$

On calculating the above expression, We get

                                                               $=112.5km$

Distance left to reach his village          =150-112.5 km                                                                                                      =37.5 km

Therefore, the distance left to reach josephs village is 37.5 km

So, Option C is correct.
