Question

One day Akash walked 2/3 km from home to school .On his return he took another route which was 3/5 km long .How many km did Akash walk in all?

please answer in steps.

Answer 1

Akash walked
`1(4)/(15)` kilometers in all.

Explanation:

Given that:

Distance covered while walking to school = 2/3 km

Distance covered while walking back = 3/5 km

We will add the distance.

Total distance walked =
`(2)/(3)+(3)/(5)`

Total distance walked =
`(10+9)/(15)`

Total distance walked =
`(19)/(15)=1(4)/(15)\ km`

Hence,

Akash walked
`1(4)/(15)` kilometers in all.
