I actually don't think the answer is 16 either.
Think about the phrase: "which of the following could be the distance" and how it is different from "which is the following is the distance".
the distance from appletown to brickton is 6 miles and the distance from brickton to caper city is 9 miles. which of the following could be the distance, in miles, from appletown to caper city?
A. 14
B. 16
C. 17
D. 18
i know the answer is 16 but would you mind explaining why? i thought it was just 9+6 but 15 is not an answer.
