The mileage from the Supermarket to the Library may be calculated using Pythagorean Theorem.
The coordinates of the Library are (7,10) and the coordinates of the Supermarket are (3,7).
So, the distance requested is √ [ (7-3)^2 + (10 - 7)^2 = √[ 4^2 + 3^2 = √ [16 + 9] =
= √25 = 5
So, he runs 5 miles.
And the reimbursement will be $0.50 / mile * 5 mile = $ 2.50.
Answer: option B) $ 2.50
To round to the nearest thousand, we check the digit in the hundreds place. If it is less than 5, we round down, else we round up to the next thousand.
In this case, the digit in the hundreds place is "6" and "6" is 5 or more, so we round up to the next thousand.
15 680 ≈ 16 000
See you add 990 then diced by 54 and then you’ll get your answer
