Question

Megha walks 5/6 km from a point P towards
east and then from there 1and3/8 towards west.
Where will she be now from P.​

Answer 1

Answer:

13/24km

Step-by-step explanation:

Megha walks 5/6 km east from point P

and then 1 and 3/8 km west

let the distance from P (now) be x

According to the diagram,

PQ = 5/6km

QR = 1 and 3/8km = 11/8km

To find,

RP = x km

then,

RP = RQ - PQ

RP = 11/8 - 3/8 (Taking LCM(i.e...=24)

RP = 33-20/24 = 13/24 km
