Anita and nick are playing tug-of-war near a mud puddle. they are each holding on to an end of a taut rope that has a knot exactly in the middle. anita's position is 6.2 meters east of the center of the puddle and nick's position is 3.0 meters west of the center of the puddle. what is the location of the knot relative to the center of the puddle? treat east as positive and west as negative.

1.6 meters east

Explanation:

Note: Image attached.

As we can see on the data, Anita is further from the puddle than Nick. Additionally, the distances relatives to the center of the puddle allow us to now the lenght of the rope which is the sum of these two, 9.2 meters. We also know that the knot is at the middle of the rope, so it means it is at 4.6 meters of  both Anita and Nick. Now what is next? Well, we now have everything we know. We have the distance between Anita and the puddle and we also know the distance between Anita and the knot (4.6 meters). We just need to subtract the distance to the knot from the distance to the puddle which is equal to 1,6 meters east direction.

If you guys have any questions, just let me know.
