Answer:
Distance = 13 units
Explanation:
The overall path covered by an object during its journey is called distance covered.
In this problem, a person starts at position zero, walks to position 8, then walks to position 5.
We need to find the person's distance traveled. It can be calculated simply by adding all the positions i.e.
Distance = 0+8+5
Distance = 13
Hence, the distance covered by the person is 13 units.
