Question

Rahim has to travel 1.25 kilometer to reach school. How much distance does he cover to go to school and come back home?

Answer 1

Hint: As we know that Rahim’s school is 1.25 kilometer away from his house.
Therefore, he will cover twice the distance to go to school and come back home.
So, to calculate the distance that he covers to go to school and come back home, we will multiply 1.25 by 2.
Complete step-by-step answer:
Distance that Rahim travels to go to school = 1.25 kilometer
Therefore, the distance he covers to go to school and come back home = [2 (1.25)] kilometer
= \[\left( 2\times 1.25 \right)\] kilometer
= 2.5 kilometer
Hence, the answer of this question is 2.5.
Therefore, the distance that Rahim covers to go to school and come back home is 2.5 kilometer.

Note: We can also solve this question in a different way, which is demonstrated below:-
Distance that Rahim travels to go to school = 1.25 kilometer
Therefore, the distance he covers to go to school and come back home = (1.25 + 1.25) kilometer
= 2.5 kilometer
So, we can observe that the answer is the same with this method too.
