Question

You and a friend are in school and are trying to figure out where to eat. You told her that you would like to go to your favorite pizza place that is 5 miles away from your home. Both of you know that your home is 10 miles away from school. Approximately how far is the pizza place from the school?The pizza place is between approximately 5 to 15 miles away from school.Not enough information to solve the problem.The pizza place is approximately less than 5 miles away from school.

Answer 1

Okay, here we have this:

Considering the provided information, we are going to identify approximately how far is the pizza place from the school, so we obtain the following:

Then from the given information we can identify that the pizzeria can be 5 miles in the same direction from the school or 5 miles in any other direction,

This means that in the best case the distance from the pizzeria to the school is 5 miles (if it is halfway), and in the worst case it is 15 miles (if it is in a completely opposite sense).

And in an average case it can be at an angle other than 180 degrees, with which the distance would be between 5 and 15 miles, therefore the correct answer is:

The pizza place is between approximately 5 to 15 miles away from school.
