Question

Calvin's home is located at the midpoint between fast pizza and pizza now. pizza now is a quarter mile away from Calvin's home. how far away is pizza now from Calvin's home? hiw far apart are the pizzerias

Answer 1

As you said in the beginning pizza now is quarter mile away from Calvin`s, so this means pizza now is STILL quarter miles from Calvin`s house. And since his house is the midpoint so you must multiply 1/4 mile by 2 to get a product of 2/4 or 1/2 miles apart!! 

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Calvin's home is located at the midpoint between fast pizza and pizza now.

The distance between Pizza now and Calvin's home = $\frac{1}{4}$ mile

Therefore, The distance between Pizza now from Calvin's home is $\frac{1}{4}$ miles.

The distance between the pizzerias = $\frac{1}{4}$ + $\frac{1}{4}$

                                                            = $\frac{2}{4}$

                                                            = $\frac{1}{2}$ miles apart.

The pizzerias are $\frac{1}{2}$ miles apart.
