Question

Mark left his house and drove north for 3.5 miles and then turned west for 4.6 miles before stopping at the gas station. How far was Mark from his home?

Answer 1

Mark was 8.1 miles away from his home.

Explanation:

3.5 + 4.6 = 8.1

Answer 2

8.1(?)

Explanation:

Just do 3.5+4.6 to get 8.1, but if you do multiplication then it'll be 16.1. I'm not sure if this is accurate, though.
