A person covers some distance by car, travelling at 45 km/h in 4.6 hours, and the remaining distance by bus, travelling at 37.5 km/h in 4.2 hours. Find the total distance travelled by the person.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Given:
Speed of car = 45 km/h
Time = 4.6 hours
Speed of bus = 37.5 km/h
Time = 4.2 hours
Formula:
Distance = Speed × Time
Distance by car = 45 × 4.6 = 207
Distance by bus = 37.5 × 4.2 = 157.5
Total distance = 207 + 157.5 = 364.5
Total distance = 364.5 km
