Answer:

32 kilometers

Explanation:

Given: A traveler covered
(4)/(5) of his journey with bicycle and the rest of the distance on foot. The whole journey was 160 km.

To find: how much distance did he cover on foot?

Solution:

It is given that the total distance covered in the whole journey is 160 km.

Distance covered with bicycle is
(4)/(5) of the total distance.

Hence, the total distance covered by bicycle


=(4)/(5)*160


=4* 32


=128 kilometers

It is given that the rest distance is covered by foot.

So, we have distance covered by foot


=\text{Total distance covered}-\text{distance covered by bicycle}


=160-128


=32 kilometers

Hence, the distance covered by foot in the journey is 32 kilometers.
