The distance from Caleb's house to the school is 1.5 miles, and the distance from Ashley's house to the school is 3520 feet. Who lives closer to the school, Caleb or Ashley? Use numbers and words to support your answer.

Answer 1

Hi there!

To solve this problem, first we need to convert everything into feet.

1.5 mi = 7920 ft

Since
7920 is greater than 3520,

Ashley lives closer to the school.

Hope this helps!
