A man walks five miles east, and then walks five miles west. What is the total distance from his starting point?

Sagot :

Answer:

0 miles

Explanation:

Step 1) -----> 5 miles west

Step 2) <----- 5 miles east

So in conclusion I think that the man came back to where he started.

Compass:

                          N

                    W          E

                            S

Answer:

15 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

5 + 10 = 15

5 represents the fact that he walked 5 miles east, and then if he were to walk from there towards the west, that would be 10 miles because if its 5 miles from his starting point to the east, then it would be double from the east to the west so if you add 5 miles and 10 miles, you should get a total of 15 miles.

I hope this helps you :D
