all drove 5 km to the mall.
At 1:30, your friend drives you 4 km to your house. The total distance you
traveled, round trip, is

Respuesta :

Answer:

9.5km

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we add the distances given together.

The distance is the sum of the length of path covered. It is a scalar quantity and has only magnitude but no directional attribute.

Distance walked to friend's house  = 500m

Distance to mall  = 5km

              Since 1000m = 1km, 5km will be 5000m

Distance back to house  = 4km

                In m, this gives 4000m

So;

 Total distance covered  = 500m + 5000m + 4000m  = 9500m

Since 1000m = 1km;

        Then, 9500m will given 9.5km
