On each of 3 days, Derrick rode 6.45 km to school, 150 meters to the library, and then 500 meters back home. how many kilometers did he ride for the 3 days altogether?

Sagot :

Answer: 21.3 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: On each of 3 days the distance traveled by Derrick to school = 6.45 km

The distance rode by Derrick to library = 150 meters

Since, 1 m=[tex]\frac{1}{1000}\ km[/tex]

Thus, the distance rode by Derrick to library = [tex]150\times\frac{1}{1000}\ km=0.15\ km[/tex]

The distance rode by Derrick to home = 500 meters.

Thus, the distance rode by Derrick to home = [tex]500\times\frac{1}{1000}\ km=0.5\ km[/tex]

Distance he rode in each day = [tex]6.45+0.15+0.5=7.1\ km[/tex]

Now, Distance he rode in 3 days = [tex]3\times7.1=21.3\ km[/tex]

Answer:

21.3 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

On each of 3 days, Derrick rode 6.45 km to school, 150 meters to the library, and then 500 meters back home.

We know that

1 km  = 1000 m

6.45 km = 6450

Total distance covered by Derrick in one day = 6450+150+500 meters

                                                                            = 7100 meters

                                                                            =7.1 kilometers

The distance covered by Derrick on each day is 7.1 km. So, the distance covered by Derrick in 3 days is

[tex]Total =3\times 7.1[/tex]

[tex]Total =21.3[/tex]

Therefore, Derrick rides 21.3 km for the 3 days altogether.
