Answer:

116 61/100 more miles

Explanation:

Samantha and her friends are going on a road trip that is 245 7/5 miles long. They have already driven 128 53/100. Therefore, they have 116 61/100 more miles to drive.

Rewritten fractions with common denominatiors: 7/50 = 14/100

114/100 - 53/100 = 61/100

Rewrite the fractions so they have a common denominator:

7/50 = 14/100

Now you have:

245 14/100 - 128 53/100

Make the first fraction larger than the second one, by subtracting 1 from the whole number and adding 100/100 to the fraction to get

244 114/100

Now subtract:

244 114/100 - 128 53/100

244 - 128 = 116

114/100 - 53/100 = 61/100

The answer is 116 61/100 more miles.
