The distance between the school and a student’s house is 1 km 875 m. Every day, she walks both ways. Find the total distance covered by her in six days.
Show solutionHide solution
Distance covered between the school and her house = 1 km 875 m = 1000 + 875 = 1875 m
Since the student walks both ways,
The distance travelled by the student in one day = 2 × 1875 = 3750 m
Distance travelled by the student in 6 days = 3750 m × 6 = 22500 m = 22 km 500 m
∴ The total distance covered by the student in six days is 22 km and 500 m.
