Question

Mile markers along the highway tell drivers how many miles they have traveled from one location to another. Suppose Daniel sees mile marker 141 when he gets onto the highway and mile marker 67 when he exits the highway. How far did Daniel travel on the highway?
a. 69 miles
b. 71 miles
c. 74 miles
d. 208 miles

Answer 1

The question asks us to choose the correct answer. We have to calculate how far did Daniel travel on the highway. The first mile marker ( when he gets onto the highway ) shows 141 and the second ( when he exits the highway ) 67 miles. We have to subtract 67 from 141: 141 - 67 = 74 miles. Answer: C ) 74 miles.
