Question

Suppose two friends are standing next to each other. One friend runs 35.7 yards in one direction. The other friend runs 18.1 yards in the opposite direction, stops, and then continues in

the same direction for 10.5 more yards. How far apart are the friends?

Answer 1

32.8 yards from each other you would add the yards together getting 53.8 then you would multiply the 10.5 times two getting 21 for them running towards each other subtracting the 21 from the 53.8 getting 32.8
