Additional guidance
| Units must be consistent unless recovered | |
| All correct except for missing the return distance from A eg \(0.6 + 1.3 + 0.8 + 1.7\) or 4.4 \(4.4 \times 3 = 13.2\) \(13.2 \times 0.4 + 3 \times 1.35 = 9.33\) | M1M1M1A0 |
| Example using their 15 truncated or rounded up for each mile \(0.6 + 1.3 + 0.8 + 1.7\) or 4.4 \(4.4 \times 3 = 13.2\) \(13 \times 0.4 + 3 \times 1.35 = 9.25\) or \(14 \times 0.4 + 3 \times 1.35 = 9.65\) | M1M1M1A0 |
| \(3.6 + 3.9 + 5.1\) (BC missing) | M1M1 |
| \(3.9 + 2.4 + 5.1\) without further working (TA and AT missing) | M1M0 |
