Question 1138224: Robinson cycles 2 kms to station.Takes a train for 2/3 of trip and a bus for remaining quarter .How long was his complete journey? Answer by ikleyn(52781) (Show Source):
Let x be the total distance (the value under the question).
Then you have this equation
2 kilometers + + = x
To solve it, multiply both sides by 3*4 = 12. You will get
2*12 + 8x + 3x = 12x.
Simplify and solve for x :
24 + 11x = 12x
24 = 12x - 11x
24 = x
ANSWER. The total distance is 24 kilometers.
