Please help me idk this

Answer 1

Answer:

  1 13/20

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the total of distances walked to be the length of the hike:

  2 1/10 + 1 1/4 + (left to walk) = 5

Then the amount left to walk is the difference ...

  left to walk = 5 - 2 1/10 - 1 1/4

___

You are expected to know how to do arithmetic with mixed numbers, and/or to be able to use a calculator for the purpose.

  5 - 2 1/10 - 1 1/4

  = (5 -2 -1/10) - 1 1/4

  = 2 9/10 - 1 1/4

  = (2 -1) + (9/10 -1/4)

  = 1 + (9/10 -1/4)

  = 1 + (18/20 - 5/20)

  = 1 13/20 . . . miles left to walk

___

Using a calculator:

  5 -2.1 -1.25 = 1.65 = 1 65/100 = 1 13/20
