3 feet west + 4 feet east means that the length of the rectangle is 7
2 feet south and 1 foot north means that the height (or width) 3.
Since the rectangle is 3 ft by 7ft the total distance around (perimeter) is 2 (l+w) or in this case 2 (7 +3) = 2 (10) = 20 ft Answer b
Drawing a picture helps.
The problem statement tells you "7 friends were playing basketball".
_____
It appears 5 friends were only playing basketball, 2 friends were playing basketball and having snacks, and 3 friends were only having snacks. Apparently, 10 friends were doing neither of those activities.

Step-by-step explanation:
5(3-1)-2
5(2)-2

12, because 4 rows and 3 sections in each
4x3=12
If we set the unknown distance (in miles) as x, then we set up an equation according to the data, we can solve for x.
Time taken to go to resort : x/48
Time taken to return : x/40
Total time = x/48+x/40 = 11
Solve for x
common multiple between 48 and 40 = 240
so
5x/240 + 6x/240 = 11
(5x+6x)/240 = 11
11x = 11*240, => x=240
Distance from home to resort is 240 miles
