Question

Sam plans to walk his dog a distance of 1 mile. He walks 3/8 of a mile and stops to get a bottle of water. Then he walks 1/8 of a mile more and stops to say hello to a friend. How far does Sam still have to walk his dog?

Answer 1

$\huge\bold\red{Solution:}$

Distance walked before 1st stop = 3/8 mile

Distance walked after stop = 1/8 mile

total distance = 1/8+3/8=4/8=1/2 mile

Distance remaining = total distance - distance covered

=1-1/2 = 1/2 mile

$\orange{Answer:1/2mile}$

hope it helps
