Question

Nathan flew 3,547 miles from Canada to California during the first part of his trip. He flew 2,567 miles from California to Hawaii during the second part of his trip. Which is the difference in the number of miles Nathan flew between the first and second parts of his trip?

Answer 1

Difference in the number of miles Nathan flew between the first and second parts of his trip is 980 miles

Solution:

Given that Nathan flew 3,547 miles from Canada to California during the first part of his trip

He flew 2,567 miles from California to Hawaii during the second part of his trip

Therefore,

first part of his trip = 3547 miles

second part of his trip = 2567 miles

Difference in the number of miles Nathan flew between the first and second parts of his trip is given as:

difference = first part of his trip - second part of his trip

difference = 3547 - 2567 = 980

Therefore, the difference in number is 980 miles
