Question

A student lives 100 m from the bus stop. The student walks 50 m toware

the bus stop, then realizes he left his Chromebook at home. He returns
home, then walks to the bus stop. What was his total distance traveled?

Answer 1

Answer: 200 meters

Explanation:

To calculate the total distance traveled, we add up the distances covered in each leg of the journey:

1. Distance walked towards the bus stop: 50 meters.

2. Distance walked back home: 50 meters.

3. Distance walked from home to the bus stop: 100 meters.

Now, let's calculate the total distance traveled:

Total distance = Distance towards the bus stop + Distance back home + Distance from home to the bus stop

Total distance = 50 meters + 50 meters + 100 meters

Total distance = 200 meters

Therefore, the student traveled a total distance of 200 meters.
