Question

Barney has to run some errands around town. Look at the map below to calculate his distance if he starts at home, goes to the video store, then the grocery store, grabs a fast snack, and ends at home. How many units did he walk? (Please walk me through the question! With words please so i understand, i don't speak math)

14 units

21 units

28 units

35 units

Answer 1

28

Explanation:

In this question, the units are just the number of boxes/grid-squares. So count how many boxes they have to walk between each step. You start at the top left location, and go around to all of them counting the boxes they pass.

they should all add up to 28 boxes, or 28 units!
