Joey walked east for 1523 meters from home. Then, he walked west for 2134 meters. How far was Joey from home
To find the distance from home, we need to subtract the distance Joey walked west from the distance Joey walked east.
Joey walked east for 1523 meters from home.
Joey walked west for 2134 meters.
Distance from home = Distance walked east - Distance walked west
Distance from home = 1523 - 2134
Distance from home = -611 meters
Joey was 611 meters from home.
To find out how far Joey is from home, we need to calculate the net displacement by subtracting the distance he walked west from the distance he walked east.
1523 meters (distance walked east) - 2134 meters (distance walked west) = -611 meters
Since Joey walked west for a longer distance than he walked east, his net displacement is negative 611 meters.
Therefore, Joey is 611 meters west of his home.
