First, convert 1/2 to 8/16 by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 8. Now, subtract 5 9/16 - 4 8/16. This equals 1 1/16 miles over her goal.

Probability (I answer all 5 problems correctly) = 5/10 = 1/2

(b) Probability (I answer at least 4 of the problems correctly) means I either answer 4 of the problems or all 5 problems correctly = 4/10 + 5/10 = 9/10
