You walk to the corner store after school to buy a carton of milk before going home. The store is 750 m south of the school, and your house is 625 m north of the school. What distance have you travelled since leaving the school?

750 + 750 + 625

To determine the total distance you have traveled since leaving the school, you need to add the distance to the corner store and the distance from the corner store to your house.

The distance from the school to the corner store is 750 m south. The distance from the corner store to your house is 625 m north.

To calculate the total distance traveled, you can add the absolute values of these distances:

750 m (south) + 625 m (north) = 1375 m

Therefore, you have traveled a total distance of 1375 meters since leaving the school.

To find the total distance traveled since leaving the school, we need to add the distance traveled to the store and the distance traveled back home.

First, you walked 750 meters south from the school to the corner store.
Then, you walked back 625 meters north from the store to your house.

To calculate the total distance traveled, we add the two distances together:

750 meters (distance to the store) + 625 meters (distance back home) = 1,375 meters

Therefore, you have traveled a total distance of 1,375 meters since leaving the school.
