Question

Raymond needs to walk 3/4 mile to the bus stop .He has walked 3/8 mile so far. How much farther does Raymond need to walk to get to the bus stop?

Answer 1

3/8 mile

Explanation:

The number of miles farther Raymond needs to walk to get to the bus stop is calculated as:

Total number of miles he needs to walk to the bus stop - Number of miles he has walked so far

Total number of miles he needs to walk to the bus stop = 3/4 mile

Number of miles he has walked so far = 3/8 mile

Hence,

3/4 mile - 3/8 mile

Lowest Common Denominator = 8

2 × 3 - 3 × 1/8

6 - 3/8

= 3/8 mile

Option c is correct
