Q. The distance between two cities is 160.75 miles. If a car has already traveled 80.25 miles, how much farther does it have to go?
Identify Distance Information: Identify the total distance between the two cities and the distance already traveled by the car.Total distance between cities: 160.75 milesDistance already traveled: 80.25 milesTo find out how much farther the car has to go, we need to subtract the distance already traveled from the total distance.
Perform Subtraction: Perform the subtraction to find the remaining distance.Remaining distance = Total distance - Distance already traveledRemaining distance = 160.75 miles - 80.25 miles
Calculate Remaining Distance: Calculate the remaining distance.Remaining distance = 160.75−80.25Remaining distance = 80.50 miles
