From her house, Juanita walked north 2 1/5 miles, turned and walked miles 6 9/10 south, and then walked 1 1/2 miles north again. Where is Juanita in relation to her house?

Answer 1

Use graph paper and draw a coordinate plane, if your a visual learner. One unit on the graph is one box.

Answer 2

6 9/10 - 2 1/5 - 1 1/2

= 6.9 - 2.2 - 1.5

= 6.9 -3.7

= 3.2= 3 1/5 South of her house
