The distance between Riya's and Sameer's house is 105683 m. The distance between Sameer's and Shweta's house is 98654 m. What is the total distance (in km) Riya covers if she first goes to Sameer's house and then Shweta's house?

Answer

To find the total distance Riya covers when she goes from her house to Sameer's house and then to Shweta's house, we need to follow these steps:

### Step 1: Identify the distances
- Distance from Riya's house to Sameer's house = 105683 meters
- Distance from Sameer's house to Shweta's house = 98654 meters

### Step 2: Add the distances
We need to add the two distances together to find the total distance Riya travels.

\[ \text{Total Distance} = \text{Distance from Riya to Sameer} + \text{Distance from Sameer to Shweta} \]

\[ \text{Total Distance} = 105683 + 98654 \]

### Step 3: Perform the addition
Let's add the numbers step by step:

```
105683
+ 98654
__________
```

1. Start from the rightmost digit:
- 3 + 4 = 7
2. Next column:
- 8 + 5 = 13 (write down 3 and carry over 1)
3. Next column:
- 6 + 6 + 1 (carry) = 13 (write down 3 and carry over 1)
4. Next column:
- 5 + 8 + 1 (carry) = 14 (write down 4 and carry over 1)
5. Next column:
- 0 + 9 + 1 (carry) = 10 (write down 0 and carry over 1)
6. Finally, the leftmost column:
- 1 + 0 + 1 (carry) = 2

So, the total distance in meters is:

\[ \text{Total Distance} = 204337 \text{ meters} \]

### Step 4: Convert meters to kilometers
To convert meters to kilometers, we divide the total distance by 1000 (since 1 km = 1000 m).

\[ \text{Total Distance in km} = \frac{204337}{1000} = 204.337 \text{ km} \]

### Final Answer
The total distance Riya covers is **204.337 km**.
