A man travelled two fifth of his journey by train, one-third by bus, one-fourth by car and the remaining 3 km on foot. What is the length of his total journey

Solution:

Let the length of his total journey be x km.

Then his journey by train be 2x/5, by bus be x/3 and by car be x/4

The linear equation we get is

x = 2x/5 + x/3 + x/4 + 3

x - 2x/5 - x/3 - x/4 = 3

x/60 = 3

x = 180

Thus, the length of his total journey is 180 km.

✦ Try This: A man travelled two fifth of his journey by train, one-third by bus, one-fourth by car and the remaining 4 km on foot. What is the length of his total journey?

Let the length of his total journey be x km.

Then his journey by train be 2x/5, by bus be x/3 and by car be x/4

A/Q

x = 2x/5 + x/3 + x/4 + 4

x - 2x/5 - x/3 - x/4 = 4

x/60 = 4

x = 4(60)

x = 240

Thus, the length of his total journey is 240 km.
