The diagram, not drawn to scale, shows the distances between 4 villages.
- Pamela 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 Pamela has travelled
= 12.3 + 12.7
= 25 km
1 km = 1000 m
25 km = 25000 m
(b)
Cost of petrol consumption to travel from Village C to Village D
= 2.76 x 0.50
= $1.38
(c)
Distance to travel from Village B to Village E via Village C
= 15.9 + 8.9
= 24.8 km (Shorter distance)
Distance to travel from Village B to Village E via Village D
= 12.3 + 12.7
= 25 km (Longer distance)
Shortest distance to travel from Village B to Village E = 24 km 800 m
Answer(s): (a) 25000 m; (b) $1.38; (c) 24 km 800 m
