Solution

The distance travelled by Katrina in the morning = `6 1/2` km = `13/2` km

The distance travelled by Katrina in the evening = `8 3/4` km = `35/4` km

∴ Total distance travelled by her

= `13/2` km + `35/4` km

= `(13 xx 2)/(2 xx 2)` km + `35/4` km  ...[∵ L.C.M. of 2 and 4 = 4]

= `26/4` km + `35/4` km

= `((26 + 35) km)/4`

= `61/4` km

= `15 1/4` km
