Answer 1

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Possible Error in Question:

The total given distance (8/14) is less than the distance travelled hence the result would be negative and not rational. I am assuming the question has an error and the actual total distance is
`{8} (1)/(4)` instead of 8/14.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Distance:

`{8}(1)/(4)`

Distance Covered:

`(3)/(4)`

Distance remaining can be calculated by subtracting the covered distance from the total distance.

Distance Remaining = Total Distance - Distance Covered;

Distance Remaining =
`8(1)/(4)-(3)/(4)`

Distance Remaining =
`((8*4) + 1)/(4)- (3)/(4)`

Distance Remaining =
`(33)/(4) -(3)/(4)`

Distance Remaining =
`(33-3)/(4)`

Distance Remaining =
`(30)/(4)`

Distance Remaining =
`(15)/(2)`

Distance Remaining =
`{7}(1)/(2)`
