Question

it is 42 1/2 miles from eaton to baxter, and 37 4/5 miles from baxter to Wellington. how far is it from eaton to Wellington, if you go by way of Baxter??

Answer 1

Our Given information is:

Easton >> Baxter = 42.5 miles
Baxter >> Wellington = 37.8 miles

Therefore, if we wanted to find how far it was from Eaton to Wellington, assuming that we went by way of Baxter, all we would have to do is add the mileage amounts together.

42.5 + 37.8 = 80.3

Therefore, it is 80.3 or 80 3/10 miles from Eaton to Wellington by way of Baxter.
