Question

Mr. Kumar travelled 475 km by train 56km 975m by car and 20km 720m by scooter?
What is the total distance that he covered?​

Answer 1

Given:

✰ Distance travelled by train = 475 km

✰ Distance travelled by car = 56 km 975 m

✰ Distance travelled by scooter = 20 km 720 m

To find:

✠ What is the total distance that he covered?

Solution:

Let's understand the concept first! To find the total distance covered, we just need to add all the distances, i.e, the distance traveled by train, car and scooter respectively, but we know while doing calculations the nature of the units should be same. So first we will add all the distance travelled in kilometres and then the distance travel in metres. We will convert the distance that is traveled in metres to kilometres and after that we will sum up the both and to find out the total distance that Mr Kumar has covered.

Let's find out...✧

First we will add the distance which is in kilometres, we have:

➛ Distance travelled by train = 475 km

➛ Distance travelled by car = 56 km

➛ Distance travelled by scooter = 20 km

➤ Distance covered ( in kilometres ) = 475 + 56 + 20

➤ Distance covered ( in kilometres ) = 551 km

Then, we will add the distance which is in metres, we have:

➛ Distance travelled by car = 975 m

➛ Distance travelled by scooter = 720 m

➤ Distance covered ( in metres ) = 975 + 720

➤ Distance covered ( in metres ) = 1695 m

Now, 1 km = 1000 m, so we can write it as,

➤ Distance covered = ( 1000 + 695 ) m

➤ Distance covered = 1km 695 m

Now, add km with the Distance covered ( in kilometres ) and just join the distance covered ( in metres ), we have

➤ Total distance covered = (551 + 1) km 695 m

➤ Total distance covered = 552 km 695 m

∴ 552 km 695 m is the total distance that he covered.

Answer 2

Answer:

total distance travelled =475km+56km+975m+20km+720m

convert m into km =1km=1000m

so 975m+720m=1695

so 1km695m

so

475km+1km+56km+20km+695m

552km+695m

552.695km
