The correct Answer is:
To find out how much distance Reeta covers by walking, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert all distances to the same unit We need to convert kilometers to meters because some distances are given in meters. 1 kilometer (km) = 1000 meters (m) - The total distance from Reeta's house to her office is: \[ 14 \text{ km} = 14 \times 1000 = 14000 \text{ m} \] ### Step 2: Convert the distances covered by scooter and bus to meters - Distance covered by scooter: \[ 10 \text{ km} 65 \text{ m} = (10 \times 1000) + 65 = 10000 + 65 = 10065 \text{ m} \] - Distance covered by bus: \[ 3 \text{ km} 75 \text{ m} = (3 \times 1000) + 75 = 3000 + 75 = 3075 \text{ m} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the total distance covered by scooter and bus Now, we add the distances covered by scooter and bus: \[ \text{Total distance covered by scooter and bus} = 10065 \text{ m} + 3075 \text{ m} = 13140 \text{ m} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the distance covered by walking To find the distance Reeta covers by walking, we subtract the total distance covered by scooter and bus from the total distance to her office: \[ \text{Distance covered by walking} = \text{Total distance} - \text{Total distance covered by scooter and bus} \] \[ \text{Distance covered by walking} = 14000 \text{ m} - 13140 \text{ m} = 860 \text{ m} \] ### Final Answer Reeta covers **860 meters** by walking. ---
