Four friends are training for long races.

Eduardo ran 5.123 miles, Kandis ran 6.34 miles, Khaliyah ran 7.1 miles, and Moises ran 8 miles.

Khaliyah ran how much further than Eduardo?

Answer:

1.977

Explanation:

line up your decimal points

7.100

- 5.123 (borrow from 1 to make it 0 and make the 0 to the right of it a 10)

(now borrow from the 10 to make it 9 and make the other zero a 10)

7.100

- 5.123 (now borrow from 7 to make it 6 and make the 0 to the right of it a 10)

7 (now borrow from the 10 to make it 9 and subtract the 2)

7.100

- 5.123 (now subtract 1 from 10 and then subtract 5 from 6)

1.977
