Ann drove 8 miles east, 4 miles south, 3 miles east, 6 miles north, 7 miles west, and 5 miles south. How many miles, in each of the compass directions, is she now from her starting point?

East: 8 + 3 = 11

West: 11 - 7 = 4

She's 4 miles east of her starting point.

South: 4 + 5 = 9

North: 9 - 7 = 2

She's 2 miles south.

Thanks!

thanks ,I had that question in my mind all day !

You're welcome.

5 miles

To find the total number of miles Ann is from her starting point in each compass direction, we can keep track of her movements in each direction.

Starting with her initial position, Ann drives 8 miles east. This means she is now 8 miles east of her starting point.

Next, she drives 4 miles south. This means she is now 4 miles south of her previous position.

Then, Ann drives 3 miles east from her new position. This means she is now 3 miles farther east from her previous position, making her total distance from her starting point in the east direction 8 + 3 = 11 miles.

Next, Ann drives 6 miles north from her new position. This means she is now 6 miles farther north from her previous position.

After that, Ann drives 7 miles west from her new position. This means she is now 7 miles west of her previous position, which brings her total distance from her starting point in the west direction to 7 miles.

Finally, Ann drives 5 miles south from her new position. This means she is now 5 miles farther south from her previous position, making her total distance from her starting point in the south direction 4 + 5 = 9 miles.

Therefore, Ann is now 11 miles east, 6 miles north, 7 miles west, and 9 miles south from her starting point.
