For my calculations I had to use google maps to measure the distance between my houses to school, every second school day I'm at my dads so every school week (5 days) I'm at my dads and he lives 12.4kms away(12400 meters) my mum lives 119mm away and I'm at my mums every 1st, 3rd and 5th day, so three times a week. In one day I travel 119mm and in a school week I travel 24800.357m, there are 41 school weeks in one school year so I multiplied 24800.357m by 41 and that ended up being 1,016,814.637m. At my primary school you can be here for 8 years so I multiplied 1,016,814.637m by 8 the total was 8,131,517.096m in the time I will have been at school for.
The skills I used was long multiplication and how to properly measure distance, since it has three decimal places shows how exact it has to be.
