Question

Tess left her home and drove for 3.7 hours due north at a rate of 60 miles per hour. After attending a concert, she drove due south for 1.4 hours at 55 miles per hour.

How far is Tess from her home?

Answer 1

Answer: 145

3.7 x 60 = 222 (how far north she drove)

1.4 x 55 = 77 (how far south she drove)

222 - 77 = 145 (how far from home)
