Your friend decides to take a road trip, just like you! They decide to skip Los Angeles though and go to Chicago instead for some deep dish pizza! How many less miles will they travel?
To determine the number of fewer miles your friend will travel by skipping Los Angeles and going to Chicago, we need the specific starting point and route of both trips. Without this information, we cannot accurately calculate the difference in miles.
To calculate how many fewer miles your friend will travel by skipping Los Angeles and going to Chicago instead, we need to know the starting point or the total driving distance of the road trip. Could you provide me with the starting point or the total driving distance?
To determine how many fewer miles your friend will travel by skipping Los Angeles and going to Chicago, you need to calculate the distance between the two routes. Here's how you can find the answer:
1. Find the distance from your starting point to Los Angeles. You can use a mapping service like Google Maps or any other reliable route planner. Let's assume this distance is X miles.
2. Find the distance from Los Angeles to Chicago. Again, use a mapping service to determine this distance. Let's say it is Y miles.
3. Calculate the total distance for your original road trip by adding X and Y.
4. Now, calculate the distance from your starting point to Chicago directly. This distance will be Y miles.
5. Finally, subtract the total distance for the original road trip from the distance when going directly to Chicago. The result will give you the number of fewer miles traveled.
For example, if the distance from your starting point to Los Angeles is 1000 miles (X) and the distance from Los Angeles to Chicago is 2000 miles (Y), the total distance for your original road trip would be 3000 miles. And let's say the distance from your starting point to Chicago directly is 2500 miles. By subtracting 3000 from 2500, you would find that your friend will travel 500 fewer miles by skipping Los Angeles and going directly to Chicago.
