The diagram, not drawn to scale, shows the distances between 4 villages.
- Usha travels from Village F to Village G and then to Village J. Find the distance she has travelled in metres.
- The cost of petrol consumption for every km travelled is 80 cents. Find the cost of the petrol consumption to travel from Village G to Village H.
- Find the shortest distance to travel from Village F to Village J. Leave your answer in km and m.
(a)
Distance that Usha has travelled
= 12.4 + 16.6
= 29 km
1 km = 1000 m
29 km = 29000 m
(b)
Cost of petrol consumption to travel from Village G to Village H
= 2.65 x 0.80
= $2.12
(c)
Distance to travel from Village F to Village J via Village G
= 14.6 + 8.6
= 23.2 km (Shorter distance)
Distance to travel from Village F to Village J via Village H
= 12.4 + 16.6
= 29 km (Longer distance)
Shortest distance to travel from Village F to Village J = 23 km 200 m
Answer(s): (a) 29000 m; (b) $2.12; (c) 23 km 200 m
