Question

Renee hiked for 4 3 4 miles. After resting, Renee hiked back along the same route for 3 1 4 miles. How many more miles does Renee need to hike to return to the place where she started? Represent your answer as a simplified mixed number, if necessary. Renee still needs to hike

Answer 1

So, we need to subtract fractions.

4 3/4 - 3 1/4.

4 - 3 = 1

3/4 - 1/4 = 2/4 OR 1/2

Your answer is 1 1/2.

Glad I could help, and good luck!
