Your vacation hotel is only 1068 feet from the historic Colonial Courthouse, but it is mile to the Fine Arts Gallery. Find the difference in the distance between the
Courthouse and your hotel and the Fine Arts Gallery and your hotel in feet. (Note that the units are different.)
The difference in distance is feet.

Answer 1

`Distance = 1572\ feet`

Explanation:

Given

Courthouse = 1068 feet

Gallery = 0.5 mile ----- Missing Part of Question

What the question implies is to

determine the distance between these two locations

This is done as follows:

`Distance = |Courthouse - Gallery|`

Substitute values for Courthouse and Gallery

`Distance = |1068\ feet - 0.5\ mile|`

Convert 0.5 mile to feet (1 mile = 5280 feet)

`Distance = |1068\ feet - 0.5 * 5280\ feet|`

`Distance = |1068\ feet - 2640\ feet|`

`Distance = |-1572\ feet|`

`Distance = 1572\ feet`

Hence, the required distance is 1572 feet
