Answer:
You and your friend are 1.797 miles apart. Since east and west are opposite directions, we just add the distances.
Step-by-step explanation:
They are walking on opposite directions, so to see how far apart, we add how much each of you walked.
We have that:
You walk 1.237 miles west.
He walks 0.56 miles.
1.237 + 0.56 = 1.797.
You and your friend are 1.797 miles apart. Since east and west are opposite directions, we just add the distances.
