Answer
To calculate the distance travelled on Fort Street:
From the summary, we know that she drove 190 m then 3.2 km before continuing onto Fort Street.
The distances to Fort Street total:
190 m + 3.2 km = 3.39 km
Therefore, the total distance travelled on Fort Street is 3.4 km.

Answer
To find the difference in distances, we first compute the distances for both routes:
The total distance from the University of Victoria to Victoria Downtown is given as 12 km or 12,000 m.
The distance she travelled via Cadboro Road and Pandora Avenue is 6.8 km or 6,800 m.
The difference in distances is:
extDifference=12,000extm−6,800extm=5,200extm
Thus, the difference between the distances of the two routes is 5,200 meters.
