Practicing Success
A man performs $\frac{2}{15}$ of the total journey by rail, $\frac{9}{20}$ by bus and the remaining 10 km, on the cycle. His total journey is: |
32.8 km 38.4 km 31.2 km 24 km |
24 km |
The LCM of the denominator of 2/15 and 9/20 is 60 = Total distance He cover (2/15) × 60 = 8 unit unit by rail He covers (9/20) × 60 = 27 unit by bus Remaining 60 - (27 + 8) = 25 unit by cycle 25 unit = 10 km 1 unit = 2/5 60 unit = (2/5) × 60 = 24 km |
