Question

It takes Sara 5 1/2hours to drive to her aunt's

house. She has already driven 3 1/2 hours.
How much longer does Sara have left to
drive?

Answer 1

2 hours

Explanation:

To solve this question, we can convert the fraction into decimal form momentarily, so that 5 1/2 is now 5.5, and 3 1/2 is now 3.5. We know that Sara has already driven 3.5 hours, and it takes 5.5 to get to her aunts house. To dins how much longer Sara has left to drive, simply subtract the total amount of hours by the hours already completed:

5.5 - 3.5 = 2.0

Meaning, Sara has 2 hours left to drive

Hope this helps :)
