The two cities are located at a distance of 20 km from each other. A bus runs between cities, making six trips a day, while he twice calls into a village located five kilometers from the bus route. What path in kilometers (km) does it take?

Given:

S1 = 20 km – distance between two cities;

n1 = 6 – number of flights per day;

S2 = 5 km – distance from the road to the village;

n2 = 2 – the number of visits to the village.

It is required to find S – the full path that the bus passes.

The bus travels between cities a distance equal to 20 * 2 * 6 = 240 km.

When entering the village, the bus travels a distance equal to 5 * 2 * 2 = 20 km.

Hence, the entire path S = 240 + 20 = 260 km.

Answer: the bus covers a full distance of 260 km.
