Question

Wyatt is hiking a trail that is 11/12 miles long. After hiking 1/4 mile, he stops for water. How much farther must he hike to finish the trail?

Answer 1

He had hiked 3/12 of a mile so the answer is 8/12 of a mile

Explanation:

You need to make 1/4 into twelves by multiplying both sides by 3 to get 3/12.

You take that and subtract it from the total distance. 11/12 - 3/12 = 8/12
