If we just passed a sign which says that Harrison is 25 miles away and Turkey is 40 miles ahead, how far will we have to go to be halfway between Turkey and Harrison?

Answer:

  • 7.5 miles

Explanation:

The distance between Turkey and Harrison is:

  • 25 + 40 = 65 miles

Halfway is:

  • 65/2 = 32.5 miles

Distance to halfway from current point with sign:

  • 40 - 32.5 = 7.5 miles
If we just passed a sign which says that Harrison is 25 miles away and Turkey is 40 miles-example-1
