Answer: 0.5 mile
Because 880 is half of 1760
Only numbers 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81 and 100 will come out to be whole numbers.
Meaning, that 10 are whole numbers and the other 90 are not.
let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then subtract, bearing in mind that the LCD of 4 and 2 is 4.
![\bf \stackrel{mixed}{8\frac{3}{4}}\implies \cfrac{8\cdot 4+3}{8}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{35}{4}}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{7\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{7\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{15}{2}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{35}{4}-\cfrac{15}{2}\implies \stackrel{\textit{using the LCD of 4}}{\cfrac{(1)35~~-~~(2)15}{4}}\implies \cfrac{35-30}{4}\implies \cfrac{5}{4}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20%5Cstackrel%7Bmixed%7D%7B8%5Cfrac%7B3%7D%7B4%7D%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B8%5Ccdot%204%2B3%7D%7B8%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cstackrel%7Bimproper%7D%7B%5Ccfrac%7B35%7D%7B4%7D%7D~%5Chfill%20%5Cstackrel%7Bmixed%7D%7B7%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B7%5Ccdot%202%2B1%7D%7B2%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cstackrel%7Bimproper%7D%7B%5Ccfrac%7B15%7D%7B2%7D%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5B-0.35em%5D%20~%5Cdotfill%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Ccfrac%7B35%7D%7B4%7D-%5Ccfrac%7B15%7D%7B2%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Cstackrel%7B%5Ctextit%7Busing%20the%20LCD%20of%204%7D%7D%7B%5Ccfrac%7B%281%2935~~-~~%282%2915%7D%7B4%7D%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B35-30%7D%7B4%7D%5Cimplies%20%5Ccfrac%7B5%7D%7B4%7D)
