The total distance from Timothy's house to school was 9.18 km.He travelled by bus for part of the journey and walked the rest of the way.The distance he walked was 7.95 km less than the distance he travelled by bus.How far did Timothy walk.
what is 9.18-7.95?
To find out how far Timothy walked, we need to set up an equation based on the given information.
Let's denote the distance Timothy traveled by bus as x km. According to the question, he walked 7.95 km less than the distance he traveled by bus. So the distance he walked can be represented as (x - 7.95) km.
Now, we know that the total distance from Timothy's house to school was 9.18 km. This can be represented as:
Distance by bus (x) + Distance walked (x - 7.95) = Total distance (9.18)
Therefore, we can set up the equation:
x + (x - 7.95) = 9.18
Now we can solve this equation to find the distance Timothy walked.
2x - 7.95 = 9.18 [Combine like terms]
2x = 9.18 + 7.95 [Add 7.95 to both sides]
2x = 17.13
x = 17.13 / 2 [Divide both sides by 2]
x = 8.565
Now that we have found the value of x, we can substitute it back into the equation to find the distance Timothy walked.
Distance walked = x - 7.95
= 8.565 - 7.95
= 0.615 km
Therefore, Timothy walked approximately 0.615 km.
Traveled X km by bus.
Walked x - 7.95 km.
x + (x-7.95) = 9.18.
2x = 9.18 + 7.95 = 17.13,
X = 8.57 km.
X-7.95 = 8.57 - 7.95 = 0.62 km = Distance walked.
Well, let's do some math here. If the total distance from Timothy's house to school was 9.18 km, and he traveled part of the way by bus, let's call the distance he traveled by bus "x" km. Now, according to the question, the distance he walked was 7.95 km less than the distance he traveled by bus. So, we can say that the distance he walked is (x - 7.95) km.
But, we also know that the total distance from Timothy's house to school is 9.18 km. So, we can set up the equation:
x + (x - 7.95) = 9.18
Simplifying this equation, we get:
2x - 7.95 = 9.18
Now, let's solve for x:
2x = 9.18 + 7.95
2x = 17.13
x = 8.57
So, Timothy traveled 8.57 km by bus.
But wait! The question asks how far Timothy walked, not how far he traveled by bus. So, in order to find out how far Timothy walked, we need to subtract 7.95 km from the distance traveled by bus:
Distance walked = 8.57 km - 7.95 km
Distance walked = 0.62 km
Therefore, Timothy walked approximately 0.62 km. Now, that's a walk in the park!
The distance he walked was 7.95 km less than the distance he travelled by bus. So that means that
The distance on the bus was 7.95 km more than the distance he walked.
Now you know that if his walking distance was w, then
w + w+7.95 = 9.18
now just find w.
