Question

From his office a person wants to reach his house on foot which is at a distance of 5 3/4km. If he had walked 2 1/2km how much distance still he has to walk to reach his home

Answer 1

He still has to walk  $3\frac{1}{4}$ km to reach his home.

Step-by-step explanation:

A person wants to reach his house on foot.

The distance of his house from his office = $5\frac{3}{4}$ km

He walked on foot = $2\frac{1}{2}$ km

He still has to walk to reach his home = $5\frac{3}{4}$ - $2\frac{1}{2}$

                                                               = $\frac{23}{4} - \frac{5}{2}$

                                                               = $\frac{23-10}{4}=\frac{13}{4}$

                                                               = $3\frac{1}{4}$ km

He still has to walk  $3\frac{1}{4}$ km to reach his home.
