Question

Kaitlin is jogging from her house to school. She has gone 1/4 miles so far. Her school is 3 7/8 miles from her house. How many miles does Kaitlin still have to jog? Write your answer as a mixed number in simplest form.

Answer 1

3 5/8 miles

Explanation:

You want miles to go for a 3 7/8 mile trip after 1/4 mile has been taveled.

Difference

The remaining mileage is the difference between the total distance and the distance already covered.

3 7/8 -1/4 = 3 7/8 -2/8 = 3 5/8

Kaitlin still has 3 5/8 miles to jog.
