Show Solution
Speed =
Distance = Speed x Time
Walking speed = 1 km per hour
Walking speed = km per hour
Walking speed = km per hour
Walking speed = km per hour
Walking distance = x 3
Walking distance = km
15 km per hour = km per hour
15 km per hour = km per hour
15 km per hour = km per hour
Distance by bus = x 2 = 31 km
Distance from village to Quamu = Walking distance + Distance by bus
Distance from village to Quamu = km + 31 km
31 =
Distance from village to Quamu = km + km
Distance from village to Quamu = km
Distance from village to Quamu = km
Distance from village to Quamu = km
Distance from village to Quamu = 35 km or 35.5 km
