Explanation / Answer

Solution:

From the given information on distances between different locations, the required distance that the van travels on the given route can be calculated as below:

a) Van travels from the hospital (A) to (B) to (C) to (D) to (E) and returns to the hospital (A), the total number of miles that the van must travel using this route (ABCDEA) is calculated as below:

A to B = 7.3 miles

B to C = 4.6 miles

C to D = 7.9 miles

D to E = 6.9 miles

E to A = 3.8 miles

Total distance travelled = 7.3 + 4.6 + 7.9 + 6.9 + 3.8 = 30.5 miles

Total distance travelled by the van on the route ABCDEA is 30.5 miles
