Answer 2

Answer:

The total distance of the journey is 36 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total journey be "x". We are given:

4/9 of total journey is by bus and 5/18 of the total journey is by rail and the remaining is 10 km.

Now, 4/9 and 5/18 of the journey together account for 13/18 of the journey.

[4/9 + 5/18 = 8/18 + 5/18 = 13/18]

Thus, 5/18 of the journey remains.            [1 -(13/18) = 5/18]

This 5/18 of the total journey is 10km (as given in the problem)

Thus, 5x/18 = 10

5x = 18*10

5x = 180

x = 36

Verify:

Total journey = 36km

4/9 of journey = 4/9*36 = 16

5/18 of journey = 5/18*36 = 10

The remaining part of the journey = 36 - (16+10) = 36 - 26 = 10
