Nella travelled 1/3 of a journey by bus, 2/3 of the remainder by bicycle and the remaining 9km on foot.

 

j = journey

c = cycle

b = bus

 

 

(a) how far did nella cycle

(1)c=(23j)2323j=32c(2)c+9 km=23jc+9 km=32c32cc=912c=9c=18 km

 

Nella cycle 18 km

 

(b) what was the total distance travel

23j=32cj=3232cj=323218 kmj=40.5 km

 

The total distance travel was 40.5 km

 

b=13jb=1340.5 kmb=13.5 km

Let the total distance be =D

1/3D.2/3D =9

2/9D=9

D=9.9/2

D=40.5 Km. Total diseance

40.5 1/3=13.5 Km by bus

27.2/3 =18 Km by cycle

9 Km by foot.
