Answer 2

Answer:

Option B is correct

$1\frac{3}{4}$ miles will Lucas walk if he takes route B

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the statement:

There are two routes Lucas can take to walk to school.

Route A is $2\frac{1}{8} = \frac{17}{8}$ miles and is 3/8 mile longer than route B

here, b is the length of route B.

The equation we get;

$b+\frac{3}{8} = 2\frac{1}{8}$

⇒$b+\frac{3}{8} = \frac{17}{8}$

Subtract $\frac{3}{8}$ from both sides we have;

⇒$b = \frac{17}{8} -\frac{3}{8} = \frac{17-3}{8} = \frac{14}{8} = \frac{7}{4} = 1\frac{3}{4}$

Therefore, $1\frac{3}{4}$ miles will Lucas walk if he takes route B
