Final answer:

Pooja and Swati traveled 114.35 km in total over two days. They went 65 km 300 m on the first day and 49 km 50 m on the second day, with meters converted to kilometers before summing the distances.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pooja and Swati traveled a total distance across two days. On the first day, they covered 65 km 300 m and on the second day, 49 km 50 m. To calculate the total distance traveled, we start by converting meters to kilometers because the question asks for the answer to be expressed in km. There are 1000 meters in 1 kilometer. Hence, 300 meters is 0.3 km and 50 meters is 0.05 km.

We then add these distances together:

  • First day: 65 km + 0.3 km = 65.3 km
  • Second day: 49 km + 0.05 km = 49.05 km

The total distance traveled is the sum of these two distances:

65.3 km + 49.05 km = 114.35 km.

Therefore, Pooja and Swati traveled 114.35 km together over the two days.
