Question

Jack's school is 6 km from his home. He goes to school by bus. One day on the way to school due to road construction the bus had to stop at a distance of 4,750 meters from his home. How far was the bus from school?

Answer 1

The bus was 1250 meters away from school

Explanation:

Given that the total distance of the school from home is 6km

converting 6km to meters we have 6,000m

Since the bus stopped at 4750 meters from his home.

The remaining distance is the distance the bus is from his school

i.e
`6000-4750= 1250 meters`
