Question

Aliyah and her friends are going on a road trip that is 32 3/4 miles long. They have already driven 12 1/2 miles. How much farther do they have to drive? Answer in decimal form

Answer 1

Answer:

They have to drive  $20\frac{1}{4}$ miles more

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total Distance of the road trip = $32 \frac{3}{4}$ miles

Distance  travelled already = $12 \frac{1}{2}$ miles.

To Find:

How much farther do they have to drive = ?

Solution:

The distance they have to travel farther = Total distance - distance  travelled

The distance they have to travel farther =  $32 \frac{3}{4} - 12 \frac{1}{2}$

=>$\frac{128 + 3}{4} - \frac{24 +1}{2}$

=>$\frac{131}{4} - \frac{25}{2}$

=>$\frac{131- 50}{4}$

=>$\frac{81}{4}$

=>$20\frac{1}{4}$
