AMERICA
Auckland - Vancouver = 11, 372 Vancouver - London = 7, 606
7, 606 + 11, 372 = 18, 978


ASIA
Auckland - Hong Kong = 9, 181 Hong Kong - London = 9, 646
9, 646 + 9, 181 = 18, 827

Work out which is the shortest distance travelled, America or Asia?

The shortest flight is the Asia flight.
The distance between the two flights is 149 km.
The longest flight is the American flight.

How much would each trip cost if he was charged $2.50 per km.

AMERICA

  1. Awesome maths skills guys, traveling sounds so expensive but would be so much fun. If you had a choice would you fly via Asia or America? I think I would choose America.
