    maths
    can you help me with one question. I don't get this one at all.
    it says a charity bike ride has three stages.

    stage 1 - machester to leeds
    stage 2 - leeds to carlisle
    stage 3 = carlisle to edinburgh

    the distance in km, between the cities are shown below

    machester
    64 leeds
    160 148 carlisle
    279 260 119 edinburgh

    calculate the total distance of the bike ride

    do I just total everything up?

    If I understand the table well, then:
    64 is the distance between manchester and leeds;
    160 is the distance between manchester and carlisle;
    279 is the distance between manchester and edinburg;
    148 is the distance between leeds and carlisle;
    260 is the distance between leeds and edinburg;
    119 is the distance between carlisle and edinburg.

    I pretty much think that's what it is, but it is asking me to calculate the total distance, how do I go about doing this

    You need to find the total distance for the bike ride, which consists of 3 stages.

    What are they, and how long is each?

    Yes, that is, if I understood the table well. With no other information, it's hard to figure out something for sure.
