Question

The distance between two cities is 42 km. jaya walks 4 km 500 m and then takes a taxi to travel one city to another. Find the distance to travel by taxi. * 37 km 500 m, 38 km 500 m, 39 km 500 m​

Answer 1

total distance=42km

Jaya walks=4km500m

distance cover by taxi=42km000m–4km500m

=(37km500m)answer

Answer 2

Given,

The total distance between two cities is $42 km$.

The distance walked by Jaya is $4 km 500 m=4.5km$.

After walking $4.5km$, Jaya took taxi to travel to another city.

So, distance traveled by taxi $=$ (Total distance between two cities) $-$ (The distance walked by Jaya).

$=42-4.5$

$=37.5km$

$=37 km 500m$.

Hence, the distance traveled by taxi is $37km$ $500m$.
