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

Respuesta :

1/2 of a mile.

Step-by-step explanation:

He has already gone 4/8 of a mile (3/8 + 1/8) and he needs to go 8/8 of a mile. 8/8 - 4/8 = 4/8. You can simplify that to 1/2.

Answer:

1/2 a mile.

Step-by-step explanation:

He wants to walk 1 mile.

Distance left = 1 - 3/8 - 1/8

= 8/8 - 3/8 - 1/8

= 8/8 - 4/8

= 4/8

= 1/2 a mile.
