To find out how far Joey is from home, we need to subtract 21 3/4 m from 15 2/3 m.
First, let's rewrite the given distances as improper fractions:
15 2/3 m = 15 + 2/3 = 45/3 + 2/3 = 47/3 m
21 3/4 m = 21 + 3/4 = 84/4 + 3/4 = 87/4 m
Then, we can subtract those fractions:
47/3 m - 87/4 m = (47*4 - 87*3) / (3*4) = (188 - 261) / 12 = -73/12 m
Joey is 73/12 m away from home.
