Answer:
1.998 km
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we know that:
When he gets off the bus, he has to walk a further 2000mm. In total, he travels 2.5km.
We convert 2000 mm to km
1 mm =1 × 10^-6 km
2000mm = x
2000mm × 1 × 10 ^-6km
= 0.002km
Subtracting this from the total distance
2.5km - 0.002 km
= 2.498 km
1 metre = 0.001 kilometre
We convert
He walks 500m to the bus stop, he then gets on the bus.
1 metre = 0.001 kilometre
We convert 500 m to km
1 m = 0.001 km
500m = x
x = 500 × 0.001
= 0.5 km
Subtracting this from the current distance, the distance he travelled on the bus is:
2.498km - 0.5km
= 1.998 km
Therefore, he travelled 1.998 km on the bus
