Question

I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST ASAP Alice and Enrique are jogging on a trail that is 6 1⁄8 miles long. If they take a short break after jogging the first 3 1⁄2 miles, how much will they have left to jog after their break?

Answer 1

First, we need to convert the 1/2 in 3 1/2 to a fraction with a shared denominator with the other fraction.

1/2 = 2/4 = 4/8

So, on a 6 1/8 mile trail, they have jogged 3 4/8 miles.

Subtract 3 4/8 from 6 1/8

6 1/8 - 3 4/8 = 2 5/8

They have 2 5/8 miles left.
