Question

The distance between two cities is 36 km. Jaya walks 2 km 40 m and then takes a taxi to travel one city to another. Find the distance to travel by bus.

Answer 1

The distance traveled by bus is 33.96 km

Explanation:

distance between two cities, d = 36 km = 36,000 m

distance traveled by leg by Jaya = 2 km 40 m = 2000 m + 40 m = 2040 m

The distance traveled by bus is given by the difference between the total distnace and the distance traveled by leg;

distance by bus = 36,000 m - 2040 m

distance by bus = 33960 m = 33.96 km

Therefore, the distance traveled by bus is 33.96 km
