Question

A traveler covered 4/5 of his journey with bicycle and the rest of the distance on foot. If the whole journey was 160 km, how much distance did he cover on foot?

Answer 1

Answer:

32 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A traveler covered $\frac{4}{5}$ of his journey with bicycle and the rest of the distance on foot. The whole journey was 160 km.

To find: how much distance did he cover on foot?

Solution:

It is given that the total distance covered in the whole journey is 160 km.

Distance covered with bicycle is $\frac{4}{5}$ of the total distance.

Hence, the total distance covered by bicycle

$=\frac{4}{5}\times160$

$=4\times 32$

$=128$ kilometers

It is given that the rest distance is covered by foot.

So, we have distance covered by foot

$=\text{Total distance covered}-\text{distance covered by bicycle}$

$=160-128$

$=32$ kilometers

Hence, the distance covered by foot in the journey is 32 kilometers.
