1/2 or 0.5

Answer 2

the bus drop him off 0.5 miles from the school

Explanation:

Total miles = 3.5 miles (3 1/2 miles)

bus stop distance = 0.25 miles

city bus = 2.75 miles (2 3/4 miles)

Before Nigel gets to school de distance is 3 miles. Then, reading the text, the bus drop him off 0.5 miles from the school. In other way

3 + X = 3.5 → X= 3.5-3 = 0.5 miles
