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
The negative sign indicates that Joey is 611 meters west of home. Since we are asked to write the answer as a mixed number, we can convert the negative number to a positive number and write it as 611 meters east of home.
