if the distance between towns A and B is 1350 km and the distance A and C in the same direction is approximately two-fifths of this, what is the approximate distance of the towns B and C
------------------------------------------------------------

The distance |AC| = %282%2F5%29%2A1350 = 540 km.

Hence, the distance |BC| is 1350 - 540 = 810 km.
