Question

If you travel 5 miles north then turn and travel 5 miles south, you have traveled ______ miles

Answer 1

Answer: 10 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

5 miles +5 miles= 10 miles (despite the directions)

This is the distance traveled

-------------------------------------

EXTRA STUFF ( you can literally ignore this part)

If you are asked for displacement instead for distance, then it will be 0 miles because you went 5 miles north and 5 miles south, which at the end, you are still at where you originally were.

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer 2

You have traveled 10 miles
