A friend in the neighbor had asked for directions to the nearest bookstore. Matias tells her to travel 0.7 km west, while Jack has told her to travel 0.5 km west. Consider how both Matias and Jack could be correct.

matias may live farther away so its 0.7 kilometers.

jack may live closer to the bookstore so it may only be 0.5 kilometers.
