Explanation of Solution
Given:
The marsh family took a vacation that covered a total distance of 1356 miles. The return trip was 284 miles shorter than the first part of the trip
Concept Used:
Rules of Addition/ Subtraction:
- Two numbers with similar sign always get added and the resulting number will carry the similar sign.
- Two numbers with opposite signs always get subtracted and the resulting number will carry the sign of larger number.
Rules of Multiplication/ Division:
- The product/quotient of two similar sign numbers is always positive.
- The product/quotient of two numbers with opposite signs is always negative.
In order to find the distance of return trip we have a total distance of 1356 miles
The return trip was 284 miles short than 1356 miles as shown below,
Thus, the return path distance is
