Gina and Derek saw some trees on their walk through the park. They made a diagram to show the distance between trees.

Question

A line diagram shows 5 points. The points are labeled start, maple tree, oak tree, pine tree, and end. The distance from the start to the maple tree is 5 yards. The distance from the maple tree to the end is 28 and two-sixths yards. The distance from the oak tree to the pine tree is 11 and three-sixths yards. The distance from the pine tree to the end is 7 and five-sixths yards.

Select the equation that calculates the distance between the maple tree and the oak tree.

5+1136+756=2426 yards

5 + 11 3 6 + 7 5 6 = 24 2 6 yards

2826−5=2326 yards

28 2 6 - 5 = 23 2 6 yards

2826−(1136−756) = 2446 yards

28 2 6 - 11 3 6 - 7 5 6 = 24 4 6 yards

2826−(1136+756) = 9 yards

28 2 6 - 11 3 6 + 7 5 6 = 9 yards

Answer 1

5 + 11 3 6 = 16 3 6

16 3 6 + 11 3 6 = 27 6 6 yards

Therefore, the equation that calculates the distance between the maple tree and the oak tree is:

5 + 11 3 6 = 27 6 6 yards
