Isabella rides her scooter 950 meters to get to work each day. First, she rides 430 meters on South Street. Then, she rides along Oxford Avenue for 375 meters. She rides the rest of the way on Malcolm Drive. How many meters does Isabella ride on Malcolm Drive?

Answer 1

To find out how many meters Isabella rides on Malcolm Drive, we first need to determine how much distance she has already covered on South Street and Oxford Avenue.

1. Distance ridden on South Street: 430 meters
2. Distance ridden on Oxford Avenue: 375 meters

Next, we calculate the total distance ridden on these two streets:

\[ \text{Total distance on South Street and Oxford Avenue} = 430 , \text{meters} + 375 , \text{meters} = 805 , \text{meters} \]

Now, we know that Isabella rides a total of 950 meters to work. To find out the distance she rides on Malcolm Drive, we subtract the distance she has already ridden from the total distance:

\[ \text{Distance on Malcolm Drive} = 950 , \text{meters} - 805 , \text{meters} = 145 , \text{meters} \]

Thus, Isabella rides 145 meters on Malcolm Drive.
