Starting from the same place, Karina walks due west and Lucas walks due east. On the number line, 0 represents their starting point, negative values represent the distance traveled west and positive values represent the distance traveled east. All values are given in feet. A number line with a point for Lucas at coordinate 240 and a point for Karina at coordinate -240.

the answer is 480 units. You take the difference between the two numbers. I.E. 240- (-240)=480. When it comes to this situation think one person went 240 feet away and the other went 240 away. Neither of them are at the starting point so the answer can not be 0.
