Mathew Ayers · Answer 1

5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that about 15 feet from the center of the carousel. Allison rode a horse about 10 feet from the center of the carousel.

To find the distance covered by Carl's horse more than Allison's horse we will subtract covered by Allison's horse from the distance covered by Carl's horse.
