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 the given distances

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

Step2: Calculate the distance from pharmacy - school

Since they are collinear, we subtract the shorter distance from the longer one. Let \(d\) be the distance from pharmacy - school. Then \(d = 2300 - 1500\).
\(d=800\) yards

Answer:

800 yards
