Question

Renee hiked for 7 3/4 miles. After resting, Renee hiked back along the same route for 6 1/4 miles. How many more miles does Renee need to hike to return to the place where she started? Represent your answer as a simplified mixed number, if necessary.

Answer 1

Renee will need to hike 1 1/2 more miles

Answer 2

Renee will need to hike 1 1/2 more miles.

Explanation:

If she hiked to her spot of 7 3/4 miles, she would need to hike another

7 3/4 more miles back. So, if she has hiked back 6 1/4 miles so far, you would subtract 7 3/4 - 6 1/4 to get 1 1/2 more miles!

Hope this answer and explanation helps you!
