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 34 steps below her office. How many steps are there between human resources and accounting?

85 51 + 34 = ?

51+34=85

bye

85 51+34=85

To find the number of steps between the human resources department and the accounting department, we need to subtract the number of steps of one department from the other.

We know that Randi has to climb up 51 steps from her office to get to the accounting department. Since the human resources department is below her office, we need to subtract the number of steps to get there.

So, to find the number of steps between the human resources department and the accounting department, we can subtract 34 (the number of steps to reach the human resources department) from 51 (the number of steps to reach the accounting department).

51 - 34 = 17

Therefore, there are 17 steps between the human resources and accounting department.
