Question 178963: The sign says you are leaving Missoula, Butte is 120 miles away, and Bozeman is 200 miles away. There is a rest stop halfway between Butte and Bozeman. How far is the rest stop from Missoula? Answer by Mathtut(3670) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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.
