Question

Wanda looks around at an assembly. she notices her younger sister to her right and her older brother 21 meters ahead of her. if wanda's brother and sister are 35 meters apart, how far apart are wanda and her younger sister?

Answer 1

Wanda and her younger sister are 14 meters apart.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between Wanda and her younger sister, we need to determine the distance between Wanda and her brother, and subtract the distance between her brother and her sister.

Given that Wanda's older brother is 21 meters ahead of her and her brother and sister are 35 meters apart, we can use subtraction to find the distance between Wanda and her sister.

Distance between Wanda and her sister = Distance between Wanda and her brother - Distance between her brother and her sister

Distance between Wanda and her sister = 21 meters - 35 meters = -14 meters

Therefore, Wanda and her younger sister are 14 meters apart.
