Question

a train stops at Atherton , then at Belmont , and then at Carson. The distance from Atherton to carson is 13 miles, at the distance from Atherton to Belmont is 10 2/3 miles . Estimate the distance from Belmont to Carson

Answer 1

Answer: Distance from Belmont to Carson is
`2(1)/(3)\ miles`

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Distance from Atherton to Carson = 13 miles

Distance from Atherton to Belomont =
`10(2)/(3)=(32)/(3)\ miles`

Now, the distance from Belmont to Carson is given by

Distance from Atherton to Carson - Distance from Atherton to Carson

`13-(32)/(3)\\\\=(39-32)/(3)\\\\=(7)/(3)\\\\=2(1)/(3)\ miles`

Hence, distance from Belmont to Carson is
`2(1)/(3)\ miles`
