The straight line distance from the starting point is 41 miles.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Distance covered towards north, n = 9 miles

Distance covered towards east, e = 40 miles

Distance from the origin to the end, x = ?

If we imagine this, then the route forms a right angle triangle

where,

n is the height

e is the base

x is the hypotenuse

Using pythagoras theorm:

(x)² = (n)² + (e)²

(x)² = (9)² + (40)²

(x)² = 1681

x = 41 miles

Therefore, the straight line distance from the starting point is 41 miles.

Hi Cherise1cherhop lets break this equation down with these steps:

1) add the whole numbers first

2) find the LCD of the fractions and that would be 42 since 42 can go into both denominators through multiplication

3) make the denominators (bottom numbers) the same as the LCD (42)

4) simplify it, now the denominators are equal

5) join the denominators together

6) simplify it (3 + 65/42)

7) convert 65/42 to mixed fraction

8) now that we made it a mixed fraction, simplify it

Answer: 4 23/42
