Sam travelled 1/4 of a journey by bus. he jogged 1/2 of the remaining distance and walked the rest of the way. If he walked 800 feet, what was the total distance he traveled?

Answer 1

(1 - 1/4 - 1/2(3/4))x = 800

Answer 2

Let the total distance be 4x meters

1/4 = x meters = bus

Remaining = 3x meters

1/2 = 1.5x meters = jogging

Remaining = 1.5x meters = 800 meters

4x = 4 /1.5 X 800 = 3200 /1.5 = 2133.33 meters ANSWER
