Question

The distance between the school and the library is 3 1/2 miles. The distance between the library and town hall is 1 1/4 miles. How many miles farther is it from the school to the library to town hall

Answer 1

To find the total distance from the school to the library and then to town hall, we add the distances together:
3 1/2 + 1 1/4 = 7/2 + 5/4 = 14/4 + 5/4 = 19/4 = <<19/4=4.75>>4.75 miles

So, it is 4.75 miles farther from the school to the library to town hall. Answer: \boxed{4.75}.
