Question

Antwan's house, a bakery, and his school all lie on the same straight street. If Antwan's house is 12 mile from the bakery, and the school is 110 mile from the bakery in the same direction, then the distance between Antwan's house and the school is .....

Answer 1

To find the distance between Antwan's house and the school, which lie on the same street, add the distance from Antwan's house to the bakery (12 miles) and from the bakery to the school (110 miles), totaling to 122 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Antwan's house is 12 miles from the bakery, and the school is 110 miles from the bakery in the same direction, to find the distance between Antwan's house and the school, you would add the two distances together. Therefore, the distance between Antwan's house and the school would be:

• 12 miles (distance from Antwan's house to the bakery)
• + 110 miles (distance from the bakery to the school)

= 122 miles (total distance from Antwan's house to the school).

It is important to note that when adding distances, the units must be the same, and in this case, they are both in miles.
