Answer:
Part A
Rahul by 3.6 km
Part B
The distance between A and D, through place C, d are;
The distance between A and D in meters, m = 44,500 m
The distance between A and D in centimeters, cm = 4,450,000 cm
The distance between A and D, in kilometers, km = 44.5 km
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A
The details of the journeys are;
The distance of A from B = 10.8 km
The distance of B from C = 15.5 km
The total distance Ramesh traveled, d₁ = The distance of A from B + The distance of B from C
Therefore;
d₁ = 10.8 km + 15.5 km = 26.3 km
The total distance Ramesh traveled, d₁ = 26.3 km
The distances of the journey of Rahul is as follows;
The distance between place A and D = 11.7 km
The distance between place D and C = 18.2 km
The total distance Rahul traveled, d₂ = The distance between place A and D + The distance between place D and C
d₂ = 11.7 km + 18.2 km = 29.9 km
The total distance Rahul traveled, d₂ = 29.9 km
Therefore, given that d₂(29.9 km) > d₁(26.3 km), Rahul travelled more distance than Ramesh
The difference between the distance Rahul travelled and the distance Ramesh travelled, d₂ - d₁ = 29.9 km - 26.3 km = 3.6 km
Therefore;
Rahul travelled more distance than Ramesh by 3.6 km
Part B
The total distance from place A to place D through place C, d₃, is given as follows;
d₃ = The distance from A to B + The distance from B to C + The distance from C to D
∴ d₃ = 10.8 km + 15.5 km + 18.2 km = 44.5 km
The total distance from place A to place D, d₃ = 44.5 lm
The total distance from place A to place D in meters, m = 1000 m/km × 44.5 km = 44,500 m
The total distance from place A to place D in cm = 100 cm/m × 44,500 m = 4,450,000 cm
