The diagram, not drawn to scale, shows the distances between 4 offices.
- Abi travels from Office L to Office M and then to Office P. 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 M to Office N.
- Find the shortest distance to travel from Office L to Office P. Leave your answer in km and m.
(a)
Distance that Abi has travelled
= 12.3 + 11.7
= 24 km
1 km = 1000 m
24 km = 24000 m
(b)
Cost of petrol consumption to travel from Office M to Office N
= 3.68 x 0.50
= $1.84
(c)
Distance to travel from Office L to Office P via Office M
= 13.4 + 7.2
= 20.6 km (Shorter distance)
Distance to travel from Office L to Office P via Office N
= 12.3 + 11.7
= 24 km (Longer distance)
Shortest distance to travel from Office L to Office P = 20 km 600 m
Answer(s): (a) 24000 m; (b) $1.84; (c) 20 km 600 m
