Question

A map of a flower shop is shown. Each coordinate represents one foot. How far are the roses from the lilies? Explain how you found your answer. Roses(5,1) lilies(5,5)

Answer 1

The roses are 4 feet away from the lilies. This can be calculated by subtracting the y-coordinate of the roses from the y-coordinate of the lilies, since they are both on the same x-axis. Therefore, 5 - 1 = 4 feet.
