Question

1. walking marshall lives 2300 yards from school and 1500 yards from the pharmacy. the school, pharmacy, and his home are all collinear, as shown in the figure. what is the distance from the pharmacy to the school?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify given distances

The distance from home - to - school is 2300 yards and from home - to - pharmacy is 1500 yards.

Step2: Calculate distance between pharmacy and school

Since the points are collinear, we subtract the shorter distance from the longer one. Let \(d\) be the distance from pharmacy to school. Then \(d = 2300−1500\).
\[d=2300 - 1500=800\]

Answer:

800 yards
