Answer:

16.87 km

Step-by-step explanation:

16.87 km 16.87 km

Answer 2

Mahesh has travelled $\underline{\bold{4\frac{5}{8}\:km}}$ to reach a city.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's solve the given problem:

The distance covered by Mahesh by bus = $3\frac{1}{2}\: km = \frac{(3\times 2) + 1}{2} \:km = \frac{6 + 1}{2} \:km =\frac{7}{2} \:km$

The distance covered by Mahesh by walking = $1\frac{1}{8}\: km = \frac{(1\times 8) + 1}{8} \:km = \frac{8 + 1}{8} \:km =\frac{9}{2} \:km$

Here we have to calculate the total distance Mahesh has travelled to reach his destination and to get that we have to find the sum of both the distances travelled by bus and walking.

Therefore, we get

The total distance travelled by Mahesh by bus and by walking is,

= [Distance by bus] + [Distance by walking]

= $\frac{7}{2} \:km + \frac{9}{8}\:km$

• taking L.C.M. of the denominators 2 and 4 = 8

= $\frac{(7\times 4) + 9}{8}\:km$

= $\frac{28 + 9}{8}\:km$

= $\frac{37}{8}\:km$

• $8 ) 37 ( 4\\\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:32\\---\\5\\---$

= $\bold{4\frac{5}{8}\:km}$

Thus, Mahesh has travelled $\bold{4\frac{5}{8}\:km}$ to reach a city.
