Answer:

see the explanation

Explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

Observing the figure

The distance from their current location to Hudson is 9 miles

The distance from their current location to Mitchell is 65 miles

The distance from their current location to Watertown is 80 miles

so

Your friend is not correct

Your friend must have calculated the distance between Hudson and Watertown (80-9=71 miles)

your friend reads the highway sign that says "its 71 miles to watertown.&quot-example-1
