Answer:
They have to drive [tex]20\frac{1}{4}[/tex] miles more
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total Distance of the road trip = [tex]32 \frac{3}{4}[/tex] miles
Distance travelled already = [tex]12 \frac{1}{2}[/tex] miles.
To Find:
How much farther do they have to drive = ?
Solution:
The distance they have to travel farther = Total distance - distance travelled
The distance they have to travel farther = [tex]32 \frac{3}{4} - 12 \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
=>[tex]\frac{128 + 3}{4} - \frac{24 +1}{2}[/tex]
=>[tex]\frac{131}{4} - \frac{25}{2}[/tex]
=>[tex]\frac{131- 50}{4}[/tex]
=>[tex]\frac{81}{4}[/tex]
=>[tex]20\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
