Question 1097990: Allan walked from his home two thirds of the total distance to town and stole a ride for three fourths of the remaining diatance. He then had one-tenth of a km left to go. How far from the town did allan live?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! He walked (2/3)+(1/3)*(3/4)=(2/3)+(1/4)=11/12 of the distance
0.1 km is the remaining distance which is 1- (11/12)=(1/12) of the distance
multiply by 12 and 1.2 km is the entire distanceANSWER
He walked 0.8 km, stole a ride for (3/4)*0.4 km or 0.3 km, and that leaves 0.1 km left.
