Find the distance from Butte to Bozeman
:
200-120=80.....so we have 80 miles between the if there is a rest stop half way in between them that would be at the 40th mile. We have already driven 120 from Missoula to Butte and now we must add 40 to find how far the rest stop is from Missoula
:
120+40=160 miles-distance from Missoula to rest stop.
