Answer:

Total distance = 6,540,000 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of bicycles = 9,000,000

Average Distance = 6.5 km (to 1 d.p)

Required

Calculate the upper bound of all bicycle distance

First, we need to determine the range of the distance traveled by each bicycle;

Since, the average distance is approximated, then the Range is:

[tex]Range = (6.45km\ to\ 6.54km)[/tex]

All number in this range approximate to 6.5km

Note that the upper bound of the range is 6.54km;

Hence, total distance is calculated as thus;

[tex]Total\ distance = Number\ of\ bicycle * upper\ bound[/tex]

[tex]Total\ distance = 1,000,000 * 6.54km[/tex]

[tex]Total distance = 6,540,000km[/tex]
