Answer 1

The actual distance form Lin's house to school is 315 m.

Here, given the distance between Han's house and school = 450 m

Lin's house is 135 meter closer to school.

Let us assume that Lin's house k meters from school.

So, the actual distance from Lin's home + 135 m =Distance of Han's house from school.

or, k + 135 m = 450 m

⇒ k = 450 m - 135 m = 315 m

So, the actual distance form Lin's house to school is 315 m.
