Question

Juan is hiking a trail that is 2 miles long. He hikes 14 miles before resting.

How much farther does he have to hike?

Answer 1

I think the answer is D.) 7/8 mile

Explanation:

If you make the mixed numbers improper fractions. 2 and 1/8 is 17/8, 1 and 1/4 (2/8) is 10/8, then you subtract the numerators and keep the denomitators the same to get 7/8 mile (sorry if I spelt something wrong)
