Answer 1

To find the distance between Terry and Damon, you add the distances they traveled and subtract from the total distance between Sudberry and Toronto. Terry and Damon are 95 kilometers apart, so the answer is A) 95 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves solving a simple distance problem using subtraction. Given that the distance between Sudberry and Toronto is 418 km, Terry traveled 105 km from Sudberry towards Toronto, and Damon traveled 218 km towards Sudberry, we need to determine how far apart Terry and Damon are.

Since they are traveling towards each other from two different points, we can add the distances they have traveled to find out how much of the 418 km they have covered together. So we calculate 105 km + 218 km = 323 km. We then subtract this sum from the total distance between Sudberry and Toronto to find the remaining distance between Terry and Damon.

So, 418 km - 323 km = 95 km.

Therefore, Terry and Damon are 95 kilometers apart. The correct answer is A) 95 km.
