Explanation:

Question 32

Step1: Identify the distances

Distance from work to grocery: \( 4.1 \) miles.
Distance from grocery to home: \( 12.8 \) miles.

Step2: Calculate the difference

Subtract the shorter distance from the longer one: \( 12.8 - 4.1 \).
\( 12.8 - 4.1 = 8.7 \) miles.

Step1: Identify the amounts

Water in barrel 1: \( 0.31 \) gallons.
Water in barrel 2: \( 3.6 \) gallons.

Step2: Calculate the difference

Subtract barrel 1’s amount from barrel 2’s: \( 3.6 - 0.31 \).
\( 3.6 - 0.31 = 3.29 \) gallons.

Answer:

A. 8.7 miles
