Answer:
Abraham's house is [tex]7\frac{1}{2}[/tex] blocks far from Scarlet's house.
Step-by-step explanation:
Abraham's house is [tex]3\frac{1}{6}[/tex] blocks to the South and Scarlet's house is [tex]4\frac{1}{3}[/tex] blocks to the North.
As the two houses are in opposite direction, so for finding the total distance between two houses, we need to add the two distances.
[tex]3\frac{1}{6}+4 \frac{1}{3} \\ \\ =\frac{19}{6}+ \frac{13}{3} \\ \\ =\frac{19}{6}+ \frac{13*2}{3*2} \\ \\ =\frac{19}{6}+ \frac{26}{6}= \frac{19+26}{6}= \frac{45}{6}= \frac{15}{2}=7 \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
So, Abraham's house is [tex]7\frac{1}{2}[/tex] blocks far from Scarlet's house.
