Given:
A park bench is located 16 3/4 feet due north of an elm tree. A fountain is located 9 1/2 feet due south of the same elm tree.
Determine the distance in feet between the park bend and the fountain.
Solution:
In order to determine the distance in feet, we simply needed to add 16 ¾ and 9 ½
16 ¾ can be written as, 16.75 ft
9 ½ can be written as, 9.5 ft
= 16.75 + 9.5
= 26.25 ft
Final answer:
= 26.25 ft
