Determine the actual distance between x and y
The question is incomplete, as the scale distance between x and y is not given.
To solve this, we make assumptions.
A scale measurement is represented as:

So, we have:

Express as fraction

Make Actual, the subject

Now, assume that the distance between x and y is 60 (on the scale), the actual distance traveled will be:


It's C or A
Step-by-step explanation
this is because of the Commutative Property.
Let 'x' represent the total distance from point A to point B
During the first hour he gets 0.25 of the way there: 0.25x
During the second hour he covers an additional 0.2 of the distance: 0.2x
During the third hour, he covers 0.3 of the distance: 0.3x
The total distance the biker traveled is:
0.25x + 0.2x + 0.3x = (0.25 + 0.2 + 0.3)x = 0.75x
The biker has: x - 0.75x = (1 - 0.75)x = 0.25x of the total distance left to go.

Therefore, a is 7 aka real part and b is 19 which is imaginary part.
