Question

A traveler covered 4/5 of his journey with bicycle and the rest of the distance on foot. If the whole journey was 160 km, how much distance did he cover on foot?

Answer 1

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.
