Question 803862: Janet leaves home from her school. She walks 6 blocks north and then 8 blocks west. How far is she from the school? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Well, supposing that she has arrived at school after having walked 6 blocks north and 8 blocks west, then she is at school and is, by definition, zero blocks from school. Now if you actually meant to ask how far IS HER HOME from school, then you should have asked a different question than you did ask.
