By taking a difference between mixed numbers, we can conclude that the distance left is 5/8 of a mile.

<h3>How much farther does he have to hike?</h3>

We know that the total length of the trail is 2½ miles, and Jorge hikes 1⁷/₈ miles before resting.

So the distance that he has left is equal to the difference between 2½ miles and 1⁷/₈ miles.

Remember that the mixed numbers can be rewritten as:

2½  = 2 + 1/2

1⁷/₈ = 1  + 7/8

So we need to find the difference:

(2 + 1/2) - (1 + 7/8) = ( 2  - 1) + (1/2 - 7/8)

= 1 + (4/8 - 7/8) = 1 - 3/8

Now we can simplify this so we get a single fraction:

1 - 3/8 = 8/8 - 3/8 = 5/8

From this, we can conclude that the distance left is 5/8 of a mile.
