To find how far Roberto needs to walk on the second day, we need to subtract the distance he walked on the first day (5/8 mile) from the total distance around the block (1 3/4 mile).
First, let's convert 1 3/4 mile to an improper fraction: 1 3/4 = 7/4 mile.
Next, let's subtract 5/8 mile from 7/4 mile: 7/4 - 5/8 = (7*2)/(4*2) - 5/8 = 14/8 - 5/8 = 9/8.
Therefore, Roberto needs to walk 9/8 mile on the second day to pick up trash. Answer: \boxed{9/8}.
Roberto wants to clean up his neighborhood by picking up trash. The total distance around his block is 1 3/4 of a mile. He decides to do this over a two-day period. If he walks 5/8 of a mile on the first day, how far does he need to walk the second day to pick up trash?(1 point)
