    You and your friend are 1.797 miles apart. Since east and west are opposite directions, we just add the distances.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    They are walking on opposite directions, so to see how far apart, we add how much each of you walked.

    We have that:

    You walk 1.237 miles west.

    He walks 0.56 miles.

    1.237 + 0.56 = 1.797.

    You and your friend are 1.797 miles apart. Since east and west are opposite directions, we just add the distances.
