Joey walked east for 1523 meters from home. Then, he walked west for 2134 meters. How far was Joey from home?(1 point)
To find 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.
To find how far Joey is from home, we need to calculate the difference between the distance he walked east and the distance he walked west.
Distance walked east: 1523 meters
Distance walked west: 2134 meters
To find the difference, we subtract the distance walked west from the distance walked east:
1523 meters - 2134 meters
To subtract these numbers, we can convert the subtraction problem into an addition problem by changing the sign of the number being subtracted:
1523 meters + (-2134 meters)
1523 + (-2134) = -611
Therefore, Joey is 611 meters from home in the west direction.
