on her way from home to the grocery store, a 6-mile trip, veronica stopped at a gas station to buy gas. after filling her tank, she continued to the grocery store. she then returned home after shopping. sketch a graph to show the distance from veronica's home compared to time. use your graph to find the total distance traveled.
total distance traveled: mi

She travels, say 4 miles, stops gets gas and travels the rest of the way, 2 miles. She shops and then rides 6 miles back home without stopping. 6 miles there, 6 miles back. 6+6= 12!

She travels 12 miles! Hope this helps!

the 8 in 8,420 is in the thousands place so it's value is 8 thousand.

the 8 in 6,870 is in the hundreds place so it's value is 8 hundred.

divide 8000 by 800 to find the answer:

8000 / 800 = 10

the 8 in 8,420 is 10 times greater than the 8 in 6,870
