Question

a train stops at Atherton , then at Belmont , and then at Carson. The distance from Atherton to carson is 13 miles, at the distance from Atherton to Belmont is 10 2/3 miles . Estimate the distance from Belmont to Carson

Answer 1

Answer: Distance from Belmont to Carson is $2\dfrac{1}{3}\ miles$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Distance from Atherton to Carson = 13 miles

Distance from Atherton to Belomont = $10\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{32}{3}\ miles$

Now, the distance from Belmont to Carson is given by

Distance from Atherton to Carson - Distance from Atherton to Carson

$13-\dfrac{32}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{39-32}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{7}{3}\\\\=2\dfrac{1}{3}\ miles$

Hence, distance from Belmont to Carson is $2\dfrac{1}{3}\ miles$
