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.

The sister catches up Jeff after 2 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write Jeff's position and his sister position at time t using the following expressions:
- Jeff position:
where:
7 is the initial position of Jeff when his sister sarts chasing him
2.5 is Jeff's velocity (in miles/hour), so its position increases by 2.5 miles for each hour
t is the time measured in hours
- Sister position:
where
6 is the sister velocity (her position increases by 6 miles for every hour)
t is the time measured in hours
The sister catches up Jeff when the two positions are equal, so
And solving for t,
So, the sister catches Jeff after 2 hours.

Please provide the other fraction so we can give you the right number or at least a picture.
well if you posted the graph i could give the exac answer but i cant so all you have to do is take one of the orignal points and move it down 5 units and left 8 units do that to all points and then you will have your answer
