Answer:

12m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance walked westward = 2.8m

Time of travel = 5min

Distance walked eastward = 9.2m

Time of travel = 10min

Unknown:

The total shopper's travel distance = ?

Solution:

Total distance traveled is the sum of the length of path covered by a body. It is a scalar quantity.

Total distance = distance walked westward + distance walked eastward

Total distance = 2.8m + 9.2m = 12m
