Question

The aquarim is 2 1/2 miles from her hotel she walks 1/4 miles to the bus stop takes the bus 1 3/4 miles and walks the rest of the way how far did she walk after getting off the bus

Answer 1

The distance she cover after getting of the bus is
`(1)/(2)` miles

Explanation:

Given as :

The total distance between Aquarim to hotel = 2
`(1)/(2)` mile =
`(5)/(2)` miles

The distance she cover to reach bus stop =
`(1)/(4)` miles

The distance she cover by bus = 1
`(3)/(4)` miles =
`(7)/(4)` miles

Let The distance she cover after getting of the buy = x miles

SO, the total distance she cover before getting off the bus = The distance she cover to reach bus stop + The distance she cover by bus

Or, Distance she cover before getting off the bus =
`(1)/(4)` miles +
`(7)/(4)` miles =
`(1+7)/(4)` miles = 2 miles

Now, ∵ The total distance between Aquarim to hotel =
`(5)/(2)` miles

So, The distance she cover after getting of the buy = Total distance - Distance she cover before getting off the bus

or, x =
`(5)/(2)` - 2

or, x =
`(5-4)/(2)`

∴ x =
`(1)/(2)` miles

Hence The distance she cover after getting of the bus is
`(1)/(2)` miles Answer
