On the way to visit my aunt, I left my house and drove 15 miles up the freeway before remembering I left my wallet at home. I immediately exited the freeway and headed back in the opposite direction toward my house. However, 3/4th of the way back, I ran out of gas and my car stopped on the side of the freeway. What is my displacement?

Answer:

3.75 miles

Explanation:

Displacement is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position. So to calculate you do 15 - (3/4 of 15) = 3.75
