City J is between City K and City L. You know the round-trip distance from City K to City L is 548 miles and the round-trip distance from City K to City J is 326 miles. Find the distance
between City J and City L. Justify your answer.

JL is 111 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

When we talk of round trips, we mean the distance going plus the distance coming

To get the actual distance between the two places, we need to divide by 2

K to L is round trip 548 miles

K to L distance is 548/2 = 274 miles

K to J round trip is 326 miles

K to J distance is 326/2 = 163 miles

From what we have ;

KL = KJ + JL

274 = 163 + JL

JL = 274-163

JL = 111 miles

To justify our answer, we can see that J is between K and L

if we added the distance KJ and JL, we should get the distance KL

from the calculations we have made, we can see that this is correct and our answer is justified
