Solution

The correct option is C 34

Miles walked forward by Harry = 94

Miles walked Backward by Harry = 32

Distance between Harry's starting point and the endpoint.
=9432

As these are unlike fractions, convert them into the like fractions as follows
32=3×22×2=64

9432=9464

Now, subtract the two fractions
As the denominators of the fractions are the same, so the numerators can be subtracted directly and the denominator remains the same.

9432=9464
=964
=34

The distance between starting point and the ending point is 34 miles
