First you should subtract the whole numbers. 254-128=126 Now subtract the fractions. Multiply 7/50 by two and get 14/100 take a whole number and make it a fraction. so now you have 114/100. Subtract 53/100. 114/100-53/100=61/100 Since we stole one from the whole number it means there is 125 instead of 126. Put it all together, they have 125 61/100 miles to drive. Hope this helps!!
