The diagram, not drawn to scale, shows the distances between 4 cities.
- Lynn travels from City U to City V and then to City X. Find the distance she has travelled in metres.
- The cost of petrol consumption for every km travelled is 60 cents. Find the cost of the petrol consumption to travel from City V to City W.
- Find the shortest distance to travel from City U to City X. Leave your answer in km and m.
(a)
Distance that Lynn has travelled
= 10.3 + 14.7
= 25 km
1 km = 1000 m
25 km = 25000 m
(b)
Cost of petrol consumption to travel from City V to City W
= 3.95 x 0.60
= $2.37
(c)
Distance to travel from City U to City X via City V
= 15.2 + 7.6
= 22.8 km (Shorter distance)
Distance to travel from City U to City X via City W
= 10.3 + 14.7
= 25 km (Longer distance)
Shortest distance to travel from City U to City X = 22 km 800 m
Answer(s): (a) 25000 m; (b) $2.37; (c) 22 km 800 m
