Let's solve each question step by step using the zoo map provided in the image.

Understanding the Map

We have the following locations and distances:

- Entrance → Elephants: 700 m
- Entrance → Tigers: 1 km 100 m = 1100 m
- Tigers → Zebras: 550 m
- Zebras → Lions: 600 m
- Elephants → Lions: 1 km 300 m = 1300 m

Let’s now answer each question.

---

1. How far are the tigers from the zoo entrance?

From the map:
Entrance → Tigers = 1 km 100 m
= 1000 m + 100 m = 1100 meters

✔ Answer: 1100 m

---

2. How far are the zebras from the zoo entrance?

To get from the entrance to the zebras, we go:
- Entrance → Tigers = 1100 m
- Tigers → Zebras = 550 m

So total distance = 1100 + 550 = 1650 meters

✔ Answer: 1650 m

---

3. How far are the elephants from the lions?

From the map:
Elephants → Lions = 1 km 300 m
= 1000 + 300 = 1300 meters

✔ Answer: 1300 m

---

4. How far are the tigers from the lions?

We can go:
- Tigers → Zebras → Lions
= 550 m + 600 m = 1150 meters

Is there a shorter path? No, because there is no direct path shown between tigers and lions.

So the only route is via zebras.

✔ Answer: 1150 m

5. What is the shortest distance between the tigers and the elephants?

We need to find the shortest path between tigers and elephants.

Possible routes:

1. Tigers → Entrance → Elephants
= 1100 m (tigers to entrance) + 700 m (entrance to elephants) = 1800 m

2. Tigers → Zebras → Lions → Elephants
= 550 + 600 + 1300 = 2450 m — much longer

So the shortest path is Tigers → Entrance → Elephants = 1800 m

But wait — is there a direct path? No, so this is the only possible route.

✔ Answer: 1800 m

---

6. What is the shortest distance between the lions and the entrance?

Possible paths:

1. Lions → Zebras → Tigers → Entrance
= 600 + 550 + 1100 = 2250 m

2. Lions → Elephants → Entrance
= 1300 + 700 = 2000 m

So the shorter one is Lions → Elephants → Entrance = 2000 m

✔ Answer: 2000 m

7. How much will you have to walk to see all the animals once?

We need to find the shortest possible path that visits all animals (elephants, lions, tigers, zebras) once, starting from the entrance.

We assume you start at the entrance, visit each animal once, and end wherever.

Let’s think of an efficient route.

Let’s try:

Entrance → Elephants → Lions → Zebras → Tigers

Check distances:

- Entrance → Elephants: 700 m
- Elephants → Lions: 1300 m
- Lions → Zebras: 600 m
- Zebras → Tigers: 550 m

Total = 700 + 1300 + 600 + 550 = 3150 m

Alternative route:
Entrance → Tigers → Zebras → Lions → Elephants

- Entrance → Tigers: 1100 m
- Tigers → Zebras: 550 m
- Zebras → Lions: 600 m
- Lions → Elephants: 1300 m

Total = 1100 + 550 + 600 + 1300 = 3550 m — longer

Another:
Entrance → Elephants → Lions → Zebras → Tigers — same as first, 3150 m

Can we do better?

Try:
Entrance → Tigers → Zebras → Lions → Elephants — already tried, 3550 m

What if we go:
Entrance → Elephants → Lions → Zebras → Tigers — still 3150 m

Wait — is there a way to avoid backtracking?

But since the map is not fully connected with direct paths, and we must visit all four animals, the best route seems to be:

Entrance → Elephants → Lions → Zebras → Tigers = 3150 m

Alternatively, could we go:

Entrance → Tigers → Zebras → Lions → Elephants — 3550 m — worse

Or:
Entrance → Elephants → Lions → Zebras → Tigers — 3150 m

Is there a shorter one?

Wait — what about going:

Entrance → Elephants → Lions → Zebras → Tigers — yes, that’s 3150 m

But notice: Tigers → Zebras → Lions → Elephants is longer.

No better path.

But let’s check if we can skip some parts.

Actually, we must visit all animals, but we don’t necessarily have to return to entrance.

So the shortest path visiting all animals once (starting at entrance) is:

✔ Entrance → Elephants → Lions → Zebras → Tigers

Distance:
- 700 (Entrance → Elephants)
- 1300 (Elephants → Lions)
- 600 (Lions → Zebras)
- 550 (Zebras → Tigers)

Total = 700 + 1300 + 600 + 550 = 3150 meters

✔ Answer: 3150 m

✔ Final Answers:

1. 1100 m
2. 1650 m
3. 1300 m
4. 1150 m
5. 1800 m
6. 2000 m
7. 3150 m
