Question

Ben, Shaneeka, and Phil live on the same street. Ben lives 6/11 mile north of Phil, and 1/3 mile north of Shaneeka. How far does Shaneeka live from Phil?

Answer 1

Shaneeka live from Phil 7/33 mile far.

Explanation:

Given:

Ben lives 6/11 mile north of Phil, and 1/3 mile north of Shaneeka.

Now, to get how far does Shaneeka live from Phil.

So, by subtracting the distance from 6/11 mile north where Ben lives from Phil to 1/3 mile north where Ben lives from Shaneeka:

`(6)/(11) -(1)/(3)`

`=(6* 3 -1* 11)/(33)`

`=(18-11)/(33)`

`=(7)/(33)`

Therefore, Shaneeka live from Phil 7/33 mile far.
