Question

Bus stops A, B, C, and D are on a straight road. The distance from A to D is exactly 1 km. The distance from B to C is 2 km. The distance from B to D is 3 km, the distance from A to B is 4 km, and the distance from C to D is 5 km. What is the distance between stops A and C?

Answer 1

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step:

* A to D is 1 km

* B to C is 2 km

* B to D is 3 km

* A to B is 4 km

* C to D is 5 km

So we have:

A -> B = 4 km

B -> C = 2 km

C -> D = 5 km

We want to find A -> C.

A -> B is 4 km

B -> C is 2 km

So A -> C = 4 + 2 = 6 km

Therefore, the distance between stops A and C is 6 km.
