The diagram, not drawn to scale, shows the distances between 4 villages.
- Natalie travels from Village B to Village C and then to Village E. Find the distance she has travelled in metres.
- The cost of petrol consumption for every km travelled is 50 cents. Find the cost of the petrol consumption to travel from Village C to Village D.
- Find the shortest distance to travel from Village B to Village E. Leave your answer in km and m.
(a)
Distance that Natalie has travelled
= 11.9 + 19.1
= 31 km
1 km = 1000 m
31 km = 31000 m
(b)
Cost of petrol consumption to travel from Village C to Village D
= 3.18 x 0.50
= $1.59
(c)
Distance to travel from Village B to Village E via Village C
= 13.6 + 8.7
= 22.3 km (Shorter distance)
Distance to travel from Village B to Village E via Village D
= 11.9 + 19.1
= 31 km (Longer distance)
Shortest distance to travel from Village B to Village E = 22 km 300 m
Answer(s): (a) 31000 m; (b) $1.59; (c) 22 km 300 m
