Last week Bryan traveled 4 miles by a bus, 18 miles by a train, 11 miles by a van, 33 miles by a car, 7 miles by a bike and walked 2 miles.
What is the range in miles for the different ways that Bryan traveled?
A) 23
B) 27
C) 31
D) 33
shortest is 2 ... longest is 33
To find the range, we need to determine the difference between the greatest and the smallest values in the set of distances traveled by Bryan.
First, let's list the distances traveled by Bryan:
- Bus: 4 miles
- Train: 18 miles
- Van: 11 miles
- Car: 33 miles
- Bike: 7 miles
- Walk: 2 miles
To find the greatest and smallest values, we can look for the highest and lowest distances in the list. The highest distance is 33 miles, which was traveled by car, and the lowest distance is 2 miles, which was traveled by walking.
Now we can calculate the range by finding the difference between the greatest and smallest values:
Range = highest value - lowest value
Range = 33 miles - 2 miles
Range = 31 miles
Therefore, the range in miles for the different ways that Bryan traveled is 31 miles.
The correct answer is C) 31.
