Question

Joey drives along the 110 South freeway and notices a mile marker that reads 260 miles. He drives until he reaches the 150 mile marker. He realizes that he went too far, so gets on the 110 North to the 175 mile marker. What is Joey’s displacement from the 260 mile marker?

Answer 1

Answer:

85 miles .

Explanation:

Displacement along the 110 South freeway = 260 - 150  =  110 miles

Displacement along the 110 North freeway = 150 - 175   = - 25 miles

Net displacement = 110 - 25 = 85 miles

So Joey's displacement from the 260 mile marker is 85 miles .
