Answer 1

Based on the information provided, the distance from your house to the bank and then to the farmer's market needs to be calculated. Given that the direct distance from your house to the farmer's market is 5 miles, and you need to make a stop at the bank, we can determine the distance must be greater than 5 miles because you have to travel from your house to the bank first before reaching the farmer's market.

Therefore, the correct statement is:

The distance from your house to the bank and then the farmer’s market is greater than 5 miles.
