Question

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.

Answer 1

Distance from school to home = 1 km 875 m = `1 km+  875/1000km = 1.875km`

Every day this distance is covered twice by the student,

Distance covered by the student in one day = 1.875 × 2 = 3.750 km

Distance covered by the student in 6 days = 3.750 × 6 = 22.500 m

Hence, the total distance covered by the student in 6 days will be 22 km 500 m.
