Question

Arun Decided to walk 7 1/3 miles to his friend house . After he had gone 3 5/8 miles , he stopped to rest . How much farther does he have to walk to reach the friend house ? ​

Answer 1

3.71 miles farther.

Explanation:

To answer this, subtract 3 5/8 miles from 7 1/3 miles:

22/3 - 29/8 (miles)

Here the LCD is 24. Thus, we have:

176 87 89

------ - ------ (miles), or ------- (miles)

24 24 24

Arun has to walk another 89/24 miles, or 3.71 miles.

Check: do 3 5/8 miles and 3.71 miles add up to 7 1/3 miles? Yes, approximately.
