Question 884974: Manila lies 2560 kilometers west of Guam and 2380 kilometers northeast of singapore. Which is nearer manila: Guam or singapore?
The solution does not require any calculations. The directional terms "northeast" and "west" are irrelevant. The nearest location is the one that is the fewest kilometers away. Which is the smallest number 2560 or 2380? 2380 is smaller, so Singapore is nearer to Manila.
