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)
Joey walked east for 1523 meters and then walked west for 2134 meters. To find out how far Joey was from home, we can subtract the distance he walked west from the distance he walked east.
1523 - 2134 = -611
Since the result is negative, it means Joey was 611 meters to the west from home. Therefore, Joey was 611 meters from home.
Answer: 611
To determine how far Joey was from home, we need to find the difference between the distance Joey walked east and the distance he walked west.
The distance Joey walked east is 1523 meters, and he walked west for 2134 meters.
To find the difference, we subtract the distance he walked west from the distance he walked east:
1523 meters - 2134 meters = -611 meters
Therefore, Joey was 611 meters west of his home.
To find out how far Joey is from home, we need to subtract the distance he walked west from the distance he walked east.
1523 - 2134 = -611
Since Joey walked west more than he walked east, the result is negative.
To write the answer as a mixed number, we divide the absolute value of the result by 1, and write the negative sign in front:
|-611| ÷ 1 = 611
So, Joey is 611 meters away from home in the west direction.
Answer: -611
