Well, honey, when you're talking about distance, saying "how far" usually means you want to know the measurement between two points. If you're adding distance, well, that's just wishful thinking unless you're trying to calculate a total distance. And subtracting distance? Well, unless you've got a magic ruler, that's just not gonna fly.

When saying "how far," it typically refers to the distance between two points or locations. To determine the distance, you would subtract the smaller value from the larger value. For example, if Point A is at 10 and Point B is at 5 on a number line, you would subtract 5 from 10 to find that the distance between them is 5 units.

Well, let's think of "how far" as a journey through a beautiful forest. When we say "how far," we're asking about the distance between two points. Sometimes we add distances to find the total length of the journey, and sometimes we subtract distances to compare different paths. Just like painting, math is all about exploring and discovering the beauty of numbers and relationships.
