The diagram, not drawn to scale, shows the distances between 4 cities.
- Hazel travels from City L to City M and then to City P. 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 City M to City N.
- Find the shortest distance to travel from City L to City P. Leave your answer in km and m.
(a)
Distance that Hazel has travelled
= 13.2 + 15.8
= 29 km
1 km = 1000 m
29 km = 29000 m
(b)
Cost of petrol consumption to travel from City M to City N
= 2.16 x 0.75
= $1.62
(c)
Distance to travel from City L to City P via City M
= 15.8 + 9.7
= 25.5 km (Shorter distance)
Distance to travel from City L to City P via City N
= 13.2 + 15.8
= 29 km (Longer distance)
Shortest distance to travel from City L to City P = 25 km 500 m
Answer(s): (a) 29000 m; (b) $1.62; (c) 25 km 500 m
