To find out how much closer James is to the post office than to the library, we need to subtract the distance to the library from the distance to the post office.

Distance to the post office: 256 miles
Distance to the library: 4 miles

So, the difference in distance will be: 256 miles - 4 miles = 252 miles.

Therefore, James is 252 miles closer to the post office than to the library.

you mean 2 5/6

256 - 4 = 252 Not closer, but farther.
