The diagram, not drawn to scale, shows the distances between 4 offices.
- Kimberly travels from Office G to Office H and then to Office K. 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 Office H to Office J.
- Find the shortest distance to travel from Office G to Office K. Leave your answer in km and m.
(a)
Distance that Kimberly has travelled
= 11.4 + 19.6
= 31 km
1 km = 1000 m
31 km = 31000 m
(b)
Cost of petrol consumption to travel from Office H to Office J
= 2.38 x 0.50
= $1.19
(c)
Distance to travel from Office G to Office K via Office H
= 15.1 + 9.2
= 24.3 km (Shorter distance)
Distance to travel from Office G to Office K via Office J
= 11.4 + 19.6
= 31 km (Longer distance)
Shortest distance to travel from Office G to Office K = 24 km 300 m
Answer(s): (a) 31000 m; (b) $1.19; (c) 24 km 300 m
