6*1 = 6
Next...
1/10 = 10% which equals 0.1
0.1 * 9 = 0.9
Now...
1/100 =1% which equals 0.01
So that means that 0.01 * 8 = 0.08
Lastly... 0.0010 * 3 = 0.003
You add
6 + 0.10 + 0.08 + 0.003 and you get 6.183.... (Kevin’s distance) which is obviously a farther distance than 6.093.
Kevin is correct :)
