Rita goes 20 km towards east from a point A to the point B. From B, she moves 30 km towards west along the same road. If the distance towards east is represented by a positive integer then, how will you represent the distance travelled towards west? By which integer will you represent her final position from A?
Answers
Answer:
Since the distance towards east is represented by a positive integer, the distance travelled towards west will be represented by a negative integer.
Distance travelled in east direction = 20 km
Distance travelled in west direction = −30 km
Distance travelled from A = 20 + (−30) = −10 km
Therefore, we will represent the distance travelled by Rita from point A by a negative integer, i.e., −10 km (i.e., Rita is now in west direction).
this is your answer..
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, it is given that
A positive integer represents the distance towards the east.
Then, distance travelled towards the west will be represented by a negative integer.
Rita travels a distance in east direction = 20 km
Rita travels a distance in west direction = – 30 km
∴Distance travelled from A = 20 + (- 30)
= 20 – 30
= -10 km
Hence, we will represent the distance travelled by Rita from point A by a negative integer, i.e. – 10 km
