Answer: They have to drive 116 61/100 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Road trip is 245 7/50 miles long
They have already driven 128 53/100
Those are mixed fraction. To facilitate the calculation, we should transform them into improper fractions (numerator > denominator)
245 7/50 = (50*245+7)/50 = 12257/50
128 53/100 = 12853/100
To find out much farther they have to drive, we need to subtract how much they have already driven to the total lenght of the trip:
<u>12257</u> - <u>12853</u> = <u>24514 - 12853</u> = <u>11661</u>
50 100 100 100
They still have 11661/100 to drive. In mixed fraction:
116 61/100 miles
