Let's calculate the elapsed time and the total distance traveled step by step:
(A) Elapsed Time: To find the elapsed time, we add up the individual times for each leg of the journey:
Elapsed Time = Time for the first leg + Time for the second leg + Time for the third leg
Given: Time for the first leg = 6.5 hours Time for the second leg = 3 hours Time for the third leg = 30 minutes = 0.5 hours
Elapsed Time = 6.5 hours + 3 hours + 0.5 hours Elapsed Time = 10 hours
Therefore, the elapsed time for the entire journey is 10 hours.
(B) Total Distance Traveled: To calculate the total distance traveled, we sum up the distances covered in each leg:
Total Distance Traveled = Distance of the first leg + Distance of the second leg + Distance of the third leg
Given: Distance of the first leg = 250 km Distance of the second leg = 155 km Distance of the third leg = 32 km
Total Distance Traveled = 250 km + 155 km + 32 km Total Distance Traveled = 437 km
Therefore, the total distance traveled during the journey is 437 km.
