The diagram, not drawn to scale, shows the distances between 4 offices.
- Abi travels from Office Q to Office R and then to Office T. 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 R to Office S.
- Find the shortest distance to travel from Office Q to Office T. Leave your answer in km and m.
(a)
Distance that Abi has travelled
= 13.3 + 15.7
= 29 km
1 km = 1000 m
29 km = 29000 m
(b)
Cost of petrol consumption to travel from Office R to Office S
= 3.66 x 0.50
= $1.83
(c)
Distance to travel from Office Q to Office T via Office R
= 14.1 + 8.2
= 22.3 km (Shorter distance)
Distance to travel from Office Q to Office T via Office S
= 13.3 + 15.7
= 29 km (Longer distance)
Shortest distance to travel from Office Q to Office T = 22 km 300 m
Answer(s): (a) 29000 m; (b) $1.83; (c) 22 km 300 m
