Question

Michelle drove a total of 57.8 kilometers on saturday. she drove 23.5 kilometers from her house to the park. her next stop was the library, which is 18.3 kilometers from the park. she drove 5.7 kilometers from the library to the grocery store. what is the distance from michelle's house to the grocery store.

Answer 1

From the question, we can create the equation
57.8 = 23.5 + 18.3 + 5.7 + x
This equation says that the total distance traveled (57.8 km) is equal to all the distances she drove, plus the final distance back home.
Solving for x, we get that x = 10.3 km
