Randi takes the stairs at work whenever possible instead of the elevator. She must climb up 51 steps from her office to get to the accounting department. The human resources department is 24 steps below her office. How many steps are there between human resources and accounting?

17 steps?

No.

85 steps

No.

34

To find the number of steps between human resources and accounting, we need to subtract the number of steps from Randi's office to the human resources department from the number of steps from Randi's office to the accounting department.

Given that there are 51 steps from Randi's office to the accounting department and 24 steps from Randi's office to the human resources department, we can calculate the number of steps between human resources and accounting as follows:

Number of steps between human resources and accounting = Number of steps to accounting department - Number of steps to human resources department
= 51 steps - 24 steps
= 27 steps

Therefore, there are 27 steps between human resources and accounting.
