Answer:
0.395 kilometre
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
On Martin's first stroke, his golf ball traveled 4/5 of the distance to the hole.
On his second stroke, the ball traveled 79 meters and went into the hole.
<u>Question asked:</u>
How many kilometres from the hole was Martin when he started?
<u>Solution:</u>
Let distance from Martin starting point to the hole in meters =
On Martin's first stroke, ball traveled =
On his second stroke, the ball traveled and went to the hole = 79 meters
Total distance from starting point to the hole = Ball traveled from first stroke + Ball traveled from second stroke
Now, convert it into kilometre:
1000 meter = 1 km
1 meter =
395 meters =
Thus, there are 0.395 kilometre distance from Martin starting point to the hole.
