The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway is fondly called the "Toy Train". This toy train ride is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This amazing train runs between New Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling and it also passes through one of the highest stations in the world, namely, Ghum. It runs 88 km daily. How much distance does it travel in a week?

Correct Answer

Given: Daily distance = 88 km Number of days in a week = 7

Formula: Weekly distance = Daily distance × Number of days

Substitution: Weekly distance = 88×788 \times 7

Calculation: Breaking 88 into 80 + 8: 80×780 \times 7 = 560 km 8×78 \times 7 = 56 km Total = 560 + 56 = 616 km

Answer: The train travels 616 km in a week.

Explanation

The chapter applies multiplication to find weekly distance. Daily distance = 88 km. Weekly distance = 88×788 \times 7 = 616 km. Breaking 88 into 80 + 8: 80×780 \times 7 = 560, 8×78 \times 7 = 56. Total = 560 + 56 = 616 km.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Daily distance = 88 km

  2. Step 2: Weekly distance = 88×788 \times 7

  3. Step 3: Break 88 into 80 + 8

  4. Step 4: 80×780 \times 7 = 560 km

  5. Step 5: 8×78 \times 7 = 56 km

  6. Step 6: Total = 560 + 56 = 616 km
