If you drove from Himgaon to Sonapur and then from Sonapur to Rawalpur, how far would you drive?
Solution
Distance between Himgaon and Sonapur = `100 5/6` km
And distance between Sonapur and Rawalpur = `16 1/2` km
Total distance that he would drive
= `100 5/6 + 16 1/2`
= `605/6 + 33/2`
= `(605 + 99)/6`
= `704/6`
= `352/3`
= `117 1/3` km
