Question

Al and Ike decide to drive to Sandy Shores Lake. As they leave home in Summerville, they notice that the car odometer reads 12,544 miles. When they stop at Winterton to have lunch, they notice that the odometer reads 12,671 miles, and they see this road sign: Sandy Shores Lake 48 miles. What is the distance from Summerville to Sandy Shores Lake?

Answer 1

An odometer tells you how many miles you've traveled

Answer 2

So to find how far they've already traveled, subtract the 2 measurements on the odometer

Answer 3

Then add that to 48, which is the leftover distance they have to travel

Answer 4

(12,671-12,544) + 48 = ?
