Question

Dave's dad was driving to another city on business. The distance between the two cities was 238 miles. If his dad had traveled 140 miles, was he closer to home or the city he was traveling to?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Dave's dad is 140 miles away from home.

He is also 238 - 140 = 98 miles away from the city.

Since 98 < 140, he was closer to the city than home.
