Question

What is the distance between the bank and Hiroto's house on the mapEnter the distance to the nearest quarter mile. (Each unit represents 1 mile)8BankHiroto's HouseWhat’s the answer ?

Answer 1

To determine the distance between the bank and Hiroto's place you have to determine their location first.

Each unit represents 1 mile.

The dot that represents Hiroto's place seems to be in the middle of the square between 3 and 4 miles (over the x-axis) so its location is (3.5, 6)

The dor that indicates the Bank is almost over the line of -8, we can say it's around -7.9, so the coordinates for it's location are (-7.9, 6)

To calculate the distance you have to subtract them:

`\begin{gathered} d=x_{H\text{iro}}-x_{\text{Bank}} \\ d=3.5-(-7.9) \\ d=3.5+7.9 \\ d=11.4 \end{gathered}`

The distance between Hiroto's house and the bank is arround 11.4 miles
