1. A bus picks up a group of tourists at a hotel. The sightseeing bus travels 2 blocks north, 2 blocks east. I block south, 2 blocks east, and 1 block south. Where is the bus in relation to the hotel?
- A. 2 blocks north
- B. 2 blocks north
- C. 2 blocks north
- D. 2 blocks north
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Let's track the bus's movements step by step:
- The bus travels 2 blocks north.
- Then, it travels 2 blocks east.
- Next, it goes 1 block south.
- Afterward, it continues 2 blocks east.
- Finally, it moves 1 block south.
Now, let's see where the bus is in relation to the hotel:
- It went 2 blocks north initially but then moved 1 block south, so it's still 1 block north of the starting point.
- It went 2 blocks east and then 2 blocks east again, which adds up to 4 blocks east of the starting point.
So, the bus is 1 block north and 4 blocks east of the hotel. Therefore, the answer is 4 blocks east.
