While John is traveling along an interstatehighway, he notices a 166 mi marker as he passes through town. Later John passes a 120 mi marker.
What is the distance between town and John’s current location? Answer in units of mi
d = 166-120 = 146 mi.
To find the distance between town and John's current location, we need to subtract the distance of the 120 mi marker from the distance of the 166 mi marker.
Distance between town and John's current location = Distance at 166 mi marker - Distance at 120 mi marker
Distance between town and John's current location = 166 mi - 120 mi
Distance between town and John's current location = 46 miles
Therefore, the distance between town and John's current location is 46 miles.
