Math Word Problems

Guest:

Sam traveled 3/4 of a journey by bus. He jogged 1/2 of the remaining distance and walked the rest of the way. If he walked 800 feet, what was the total distance he traveled?

I got 6,400 ft. Is this correct?

Let me see
3/4 by bus
1/4 left
1/2 of 1/4 is 1/8
He walked 1/8 th of the way and that was 800m
So the total distance was
8 x 800 = 6400feet. so your answer is excellent.
There are 5280 feet in a mile so that means sam travelled
6400 - 5280 = 1120 feet

So that means sam travelled 1 mile and 1120 feet.

Thanks for your help. Word problems can be hard.

the answer is -purple degrees due to kinetic energy being a scalar and nutela tasting like the tears of pregnant mermaids.
