The diagram, not drawn to scale, shows the distances between 4 villages.
- Shannon travels from Village N to Village P and then to Village R. 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 P to Village Q.
- Find the shortest distance to travel from Village N to Village R. Leave your answer in km and m.
(a)
Distance that Shannon has travelled
= 11.9 + 18.1
= 30 km
1 km = 1000 m
30 km = 30000 m
(b)
Cost of petrol consumption to travel from Village P to Village Q
= 3.66 x 0.50
= $1.83
(c)
Distance to travel from Village N to Village R via Village P
= 14.3 + 6.3
= 20.6 km (Shorter distance)
Distance to travel from Village N to Village R via Village Q
= 11.9 + 18.1
= 30 km (Longer distance)
Shortest distance to travel from Village N to Village R = 20 km 600 m
Answer(s): (a) 30000 m; (b) $1.83; (c) 20 km 600 m
