The diagram, not drawn to scale, shows the distances between 4 offices.
- Ivory travels from Office M to Office N and then to Office Q. 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 Office N to Office P.
- Find the shortest distance to travel from Office M to Office Q. Leave your answer in km and m.
(a)
Distance that Ivory has travelled
= 10.1 + 14.9
= 25 km
1 km = 1000 m
25 km = 25000 m
(b)
Cost of petrol consumption to travel from Office N to Office P
= 3.88 x 0.50
= $1.94
(c)
Distance to travel from Office M to Office Q via Office N
= 13.4 + 6.3
= 19.7 km (Shorter distance)
Distance to travel from Office M to Office Q via Office P
= 10.1 + 14.9
= 25 km (Longer distance)
Shortest distance to travel from Office M to Office Q = 19 km 700 m
Answer(s): (a) 25000 m; (b) $1.94; (c) 19 km 700 m
