Answer:

5,500 meters

Explanation:

Joe's house is 5.5 km from creek.

Jane's house is TWICE AS FAR, so Jane's house is 5.5 * 2 = 11 km from the creek.

Jane's house is 11 - 5.5 = 5.5 km further than Joe's house (from the creek).

we know 1000 meters = 1 kilometers, so,

5.5 km = 1000 * 5.5 = 5500 meters.

This is the answer.
