Answer :

aachen

Answer:

32 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A traveler covered [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] of his journey with bicycle and the rest of the distance on foot. The whole journey was 160 km.

To find: how much distance did he cover on foot?

Solution:

It is given that the total distance covered in the whole journey is 160 km.

Distance covered with bicycle is [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] of the total distance.

Hence, the total distance covered by bicycle

[tex]=\frac{4}{5}\times160[/tex]

[tex]=4\times 32[/tex]

[tex]=128[/tex] kilometers

It is given that the rest distance is covered by foot.

So, we have distance covered by foot

[tex]=\text{Total distance covered}-\text{distance covered by bicycle}[/tex]

[tex]=160-128[/tex]

[tex]=32[/tex] kilometers

Hence, the distance covered by foot in the journey is 32 kilometers.
