Answer:

9.6

Explanation:

The question is :

Solution;

Let total distance from school to home = 'x' meters

Issa jogged 2/3rd of 'x'=
(2x)/(3)

So total distance from school to home =
(2x)/(3) +3200

But total distance from school to home =
x


==> (2x)/(3) + 3200 = x


==> 3200= (x)/(3)


==> 9600=x

So total distance from school to home is 9600 meters

We convert it into km now

we know 1000 meters = 1km

==> 9600 meters = 1/100 x 9600= 9.6 km
