Question

Clara travels a total of 2 3\4 to school each day. She walks one half mile from her home to the bus stop. She then travels 2 miles on the city bus.

In miles, how far does the bus drop her off from school?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.25 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The total distance off from her school is obtained by subtracting the distance traveled in a bus plus the distance walked from the total distance.

Given that she walks for half a mile and travels  2 miles in the bus:

$d_r=d_t-(d_w+d_b)\\\\=2\frac{3}{4}-(0.5+2.0)\\\\=0.25\ miles$

Hence,  the bus drop her 0.25 miles off from school.
