Maths worded problem - Australian Mathematics

Hi Chetan P, the way to solve this question is figuring out how much of the distance is not accounted for in fractions.

This means you have to start converting your fractions into a fraction with a common denominator. 

1/6 +  1/12 + 1/7 + 1/2 = 

When you have this fraction, you can figure out what fraction of the journey the kilometers correspond to.

The whole journey, of course, is 1.

1 - (1/6 + 1/12 + 1/7 + 1/2) = (5 km + 4 km) / total distance

You should then be able to figure out the whole distance covered.

I hope this helps.

Thankyou very much for your time to solve this problem. It is useful. Much appreciated.

Thanks,Chetan
