Question

if we just passed a sign which says that harrison is 25 miles away and turkey is 40 miles ahead, how far will we have to go to be halfway between turkey and harriso

Answer 1

You will need to go 7.5 miles to be halfway between Harrison and Turkey

Explanation:

If you see a sign saying that Harrison is 25 miles away and that Turkey is 40 miles ahead, then the distance from Harrison to Turkey must be 40 miles - 25 miles = 15 miles.

If you drive up to be halfway between Harrison and Turkey, then you need to travel 15/2 = 7.5 miles.

You will need to go 7.5 miles to be halfway between Harrison and Turkey
