Joey walked east for 1523 meters from home. Then, he walked west for 2134 meters. How far was Joey from home? Write your answer as a mixed number only.(1 point)

Answer 1

Joey walked east for 1523 meters, then west for 2134 meters.

To find out how far he is from home, we calculate the net distance he walked:

1. First, determine how much farther he walked west than he did east: \[ 2134 \text{ meters (west)} - 1523 \text{ meters (east)} = 611 \text{ meters} \]

So, Joey is 611 meters west of his starting point (home).

Now, we convert 611 into a mixed number. Since 611 is a whole number, it can be represented as a mixed number:

\[ 611 = 611 \frac{0}{1} \]

Thus, the distance Joey is from home, expressed as a mixed number, is \( 611\).
