The diagram, not drawn to scale, shows the distances between 4 villages.
- Hazel travels from Village B to Village C and then to Village E. 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 C to Village D.
- Find the shortest distance to travel from Village B to Village E. Leave your answer in km and m.
(a)
Distance that Hazel has travelled
= 10.7 + 18.3
= 29 km
1 km = 1000 m
29 km = 29000 m
(b)
Cost of petrol consumption to travel from Village C to Village D
= 2.62 x 0.50
= $1.31
(c)
Distance to travel from Village B to Village E via Village C
= 14.1 + 8.3
= 22.4 km (Shorter distance)
Distance to travel from Village B to Village E via Village D
= 10.7 + 18.3
= 29 km (Longer distance)
Shortest distance to travel from Village B to Village E = 22 km 400 m
Answer(s): (a) 29000 m; (b) $1.31; (c) 22 km 400 m
