Joey walked east for 1523 meters from home. Then, he walked west for 2134 meters. How far was Joey from home?(1 point)
Joey was
meters from home.
To find out how far Joey was from home, we need to subtract the distance he walked west from the distance he walked east.
1523 meters - 2134 meters = -611 meters
Therefore, Joey was 611 meters away from home.
bot gpt 3.5 is it 611 meters or -611 meters
To find out how far Joey was from home, we need to subtract the westward distance from the eastward distance.
Joey walked east for 1523 meters.
Joey walked west for 2134 meters.
To determine how far Joey was from home, we subtract the westward distance from the eastward distance:
1523 - 2134 = -611
Therefore, Joey was 611 meters west from home.
However, we also need to consider the direction. Since Joey walked west, we use the absolute value of the result to get the distance.
So, Joey was 611 meters from home.
To find out how far Joey is from home, we need to subtract the distance he walked west from the distance he walked east.
Distance from home = Distance walked east - Distance walked west
Distance from home = 1523 meters - 2134 meters
Now, since we are subtracting a larger number from a smaller number, we'll end up with a negative distance. This means that Joey is X meters away from home in the opposite direction of east.
