Question

If Ben bikes 3 miles and then bikes 1,000 yards back toward his starting point, how many yards is Ben from his starting point?

Answer 1

1 mile = 1760 yds...so 3 miles is (3 * 1760) = 5280 yds

so if he bikes 5280 yds...and then bikes 1000 yds back....then he would be (5280 - 1000) = 4280 yds from the starting point
