Question

Andrew lives 1.7 kilometers from the soccer field. He rode his bike 0.9 of the distance to the field.How much farther does Andrew need to ride to reach the soccer field? Include an area model in your answer.

Answer 1

1.7km - 0.9km = 0.8km

he lives a specific distance, and since he already rode his bike a certain distance towards the end goal, he must subtract that from the entire distance.
