Renee is walking to a store that is 2. 5 kilometers from her house. After 700 meters, she stops at her friend’s house

What is the distance that Renee will walk from her friend’s house to the store?

Because she stopped at her friend's house on the way to the store, it can be seen that there is no detour. This means that the distance between her friend's house to the store is a subtraction problem

2.5 km - 700m=2500m-700m=1800m or 1.8km

I hope this helps fell free to ask any questions about this explanation.
