Headline Story
Marcia, Shirley, and Joshua were talking in the hallway at school. Joshua’s classroom was at the very far end of the hall, twice as far from where they were standing as Marcia’s classroom. Shirley’s classroom was 50 feet away from them. Marcia’s classroom was twice as far as Shirley’s.
Possible student responses
- All three students are in different classrooms.
- Marcia’s classroom is 100 feet away from where the kids were standing.
- Marcia’s classroom and Shirley’s classroom could be 150 feet apart, but they could also be only 50 feet apart.
- Joshua’s classroom is 200 feet away from where the kids are standing.
