The man travelled in different ways: by rail, by taxi, by ___ and by foot. I placed a blank there because there seems to be a missing word in the given problem above. For sample purposes, let's just assume that is travel by bus.
Since all of these travels are equal to 1 whole journey, you can express each travel as a fraction. When you add them up, the answer would be 1. So,
3/8 + 1/4 + 1/8 + x = 1
The variable x here denotes the fraction of his travel by foot. We are only given the exact distance travelled on foot which is 2 km. We have to find the fraction of the travel by foot to determine the length of the total distance travelled. Solving for x,
x = 1 - 3/8 - 1/4 - 1/8
x = 1/4
That means that the travel by foot comprises 1/4 of the whole journey. Thus,
Let total distance be D.
1.4*D = 2 km
D = 8 km
Therefore, the man travelled a total of 8 kilometers.
Option D: 
is the solution
Explanation:
The given expression is 
We need to determine the solution of the expression.
<u>Solution:</u>
The solution of the expression can be determined by solving the expression for the variable x.
Thus, we have,
Adding both sides of the expression by 1, we get,
Dividing both sides of the expression by 3, we get,
Thus, the solution of the expression is
Hence, Option D is the correct answer.
