What is the distance in miles between mile marker 100 and mile marker 324?

• A. 324
• B. 100
• C. 224
• D. 424

Answer: (C)

Finding the distance between mile markers is about subtracting the smaller marker from the larger one. Mile markers increase along the highway, so the distance equals 324 minus 100, which is 224 miles. The other numbers come from adding the markers or misreading the operation, but the correct approach is taking the difference.
