The diagram, not drawn to scale, shows the distances between 4 towns.
- Abi travels from Town T to Town U and then to Town W. Find the distance she has travelled in metres.
- The cost of petrol consumption for every km travelled is 75 cents. Find the cost of the petrol consumption to travel from Town U to Town V.
- Find the shortest distance to travel from Town T to Town W. Leave your answer in km and m.
(a)
Distance that Abi has travelled
= 13.2 + 10.8
= 24 km
1 km = 1000 m
24 km = 24000 m
(b)
Cost of petrol consumption to travel from Town U to Town V
= 3.92 x 0.75
= $2.94
(c)
Distance to travel from Town T to Town W via Town U
= 14.3 + 7.3
= 21.6 km (Shorter distance)
Distance to travel from Town T to Town W via Town V
= 13.2 + 10.8
= 24 km (Longer distance)
Shortest distance to travel from Town T to Town W = 21 km 600 m
Answer(s): (a) 24000 m; (b) $2.94; (c) 21 km 600 m
