Question

The table given below shows the distances, in kilometres, between four villages of a state. To find the distance between two villages, locate the square where the row for one village and the column for the other village intersect.

If you drove from Himgaon to Sonapur and then from Sonapur to Rawalpur, how far would you drive?

Answer 1

Distance between Himgaon and Sonapur = `100 5/6` km

And distance between Sonapur and Rawalpur = `16 1/2` km

Total distance that he would drive

= `100 5/6 + 16 1/2`

= `605/6 + 33/2`

= `(605 + 99)/6`

= `704/6`

= `352/3`

= `117 1/3` km
