The cedar trail is 2 7/8 miles long and the maple trail is 1 1/2 miles long how much longer is the cedar trail than the maple trail? a 1 3/4 miles b 1 3/8 miles c 3 8/10 miles d 4 3/8 miles

To find the difference in two lengths we need to subtract them

but here both length are given in mix fraction form

let us first try to write them in simple fraction form .

the first is : 2 7/8 we write it as : (8* 2 + 7 )/ 8 = 23/8

The second is : 1 1/2 we write it as : ( 2*1 + 1) /2 = 3/2

Let us now try finding difference : 23/8 - 3/2

as both have different number in the bottom we try to make a same number in denominator of both fractions .

2 can become by multiplying it to 4 .

let us multiply 3/2 by 4/4 it makes : ( 12 /8 )

now both fractions can be subtracted . (23/8 ) - ( 12/8 )

( 23 - 12 ) /8 = ( 11/8 )

that is the answer : 11/8 miles.

answer: yes youre right.

step-by-step explanation:

i think it is everything has to equal 180 so, if i correct 4=c. 6=d. 8=a. 7=b. and the last question would be c. because they are parallel lines and they are congruent.

step-by-step explanation:

the reason everything has to equal to 180 is because that is how it works. i'm guessing that is its rule. 4 and 8 are congruent and parallel so, that would be 30+30 because they have the same number. it would equal 60. 6 and 7 are congruent and parallel so, that would be 30+30 because they have the same number. it would equal 60. 60+60 is 180. so, now you have your answer
