To travel to school, Gavin must walk to the bus stop. The bus trip covers
four times the distance that he walks. He then needs to walk 500 m to
school. If the school is 10 km away from Gavin's home, how far does he
walk to the bus stop?

Answer :

Answer:

2,375 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the distance from his walk to the bus stop is given below:

Let us assume he walks be x

So the bus trip be 4x

4x + 500m

From Home to school, it would be 10km

As we know

1km = 1000m

So for 10km it would be  = 10,000 m

4x + 500 m = 10,000 m

4x = 10,000 m - 500 m

4x = 9,500 m

x = 2,375 m
