Question

meters from home. Then, he walked west for 2134
meters. How far was Joey from home? Write your answer as a mixed number only.
Joey was ? meters from home.

Answer 1

To determine how far Joey is from home after walking, we can calculate the total distance walked in each direction.

1. Joey first walked 1523 meters east.
2. Then, he walked 2134 meters west.

Now, to find out how far he is from home, we subtract the distance he walked east from the distance he walked west:

Distance from home = Distance walked west - Distance walked east Distance from home = 2134 meters - 1523 meters Distance from home = 611 meters

So, Joey was 611 meters from home.

To express 611 as a mixed number: 611 is already a whole number, so there are no fractional parts.

Therefore, the answer is: Joey was \( 611 \) meters from home.
