Answer:

24 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent the distance with x

[tex]x = 2km\ 400m[/tex]

Required

The distance covered for 5 days (i.e. Monday to Friday)

First, we calculate the distance covered in a day

He covers the same distance when going to school and when coming back from school.

So, the daily distance is:

[tex]Daily = 2 * x[/tex]

[tex]Daily = 2 * (2km\ 400m)[/tex]

[tex]Daily = 4km\ 800m[/tex]

In 5 days, he covers:

[tex]5\ days = 5 * Daily[/tex]

[tex]5\ days = 5 * (4km\ 800m)[/tex]

[tex]5\ days = 5 * (4km+ 800m)[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]5\ days = 5 * 4km+ 5 * 800m[/tex]

[tex]5\ days = 20km+ 4000m[/tex]

Convert m to km

[tex]5\ days = 20km+ 4km[/tex]

[tex]5\ days = 24km[/tex]
