Question

Kaylee and Melina decided to run a 6 1/4 mile loop around their neighborhood. After 4 1/2 miles they decided to take a quick break. How much of the total distance did they have left in their run when they decided to take a break?

Answer 1

Answer: 1.75 or 1 3/4

Explanation:

6 1/4 = 6.25

4 1/2 = 4.5

6.25 - 4.5 = 1.75

1.75 = 1 3/4

Answer 2

6.25 - 4.5 = 1.75 or 1 3/4
