Shelbi flew 600 miles South to Houston, TX, then flew back 600 miles North to Tulsa Oklahoma. What was her displacement and distance traveled?

• Displacement = 0 miles

  Distance = 1,200 miles

• Displacement = 600 miles South

  Distance = 1,200 miles

• Displacement = 1,200 miles

  Distance = 0 miles

Shelbi flew 220 miles E to Tampa Bay, FL then flew back to Houston, TX. What was her displacement and distance traveled?

• Displacement = 220 miles W

  Distance = 440 miles W

• Displacement = 0

  Distance = 1,200 miles

• Displacement = 0 miles

  Distance = 440 miles
