Question

13. You travel from Sacramento to LA. The total distance when you go to LA and then back home to Sacramento is 760 miles. Fresno is a city you pass on the way; it is located 170 miles from Sacramento. Find the distance between Fresno to Los Angeles.

Answer 1

Sacramento to LA.

Total distance (go and back) 760

So, the distance between the 2 cities is the previous distance divided by 2:

760 /2 = 380 miles

Distance from Sacramento to LA: 360 miles

Fresno is 170 miles from Sacramento.

So, to find the distance between L.A and Fresno, subtract the distance between Fresno and Sacramento (170) to the distance between Sacramento and L.A(380).

380-170 = 210 miles

The distance between Fresno to Los Angeles. is 210 miles
