Answer 1

Answer:

Distance from her house to her work = 12.4 Miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

==> Automator mileage gauge read 38643.8 Miles before she left to work.

==> Automator mileage gauge read 38668.6 Miles after she came home from work.

==> She didn't drive anywhere else during the day. home to work & work to      home.

Car driven during the day = 38668.6 - 38643.8

                                           = 24.8 Miles

Let the distance from home to work be X

*It is assumed that Distance from home to work = Distance from work to home

So, Distance from work to home = X

Total distance driven during the day = Distance from home to work + Distance from work to home

Total distance driven during the day = X + X

                                                    24.8 = 2X

                                                    24.8 ÷ 2 = X

                                                    12.4 = X

Distance from her house to her work = 12.4 Miles
