To find the difference, we need to subtract the distance from the library to Town Hall from the distance from the school to the library.

Distance from school to library = 3 1/2 miles
Distance from library to Town Hall = 1 1/4 miles

Difference = 3 1/2 miles - 1 1/4 miles
= 14/4 - 5/4
= 9/4
= 2 1/4 miles

The school is 2 1/4 miles farther from the library than from the library to Town Hall. Answer: \boxed{2 \frac{1}{4}} miles.

To find the remaining inches on the ribbon, we need to subtract the inches cut from the total length of the ribbon.

Total length of the ribbon = 10 1/5 inches
Inches cut = 7 4/5 inches

To subtract mixed numbers, we need to first convert them to improper fractions.

Total length of the ribbon = 10 + 1/5 = 51/5 inches
Inches cut = 7 + 4/5 = 39/5 inches

Remaining inches = Total length of the ribbon - Inches cut
= 51/5 - 39/5
= (51 - 39)/5
= 12/5
= 2 2/5 inches

Therefore, 2 2/5 inches remain on the ribbon. Answer: \boxed{2 \frac{2}{5}} inches

To find the total cups of liquid Philip uses, we need to add the cups of broth to the cups of water.

Cups of broth = 3 3/8 cups
Cups of water = 2 1/4 cups

To add mixed numbers, we need to first convert them to improper fractions.

Cups of broth = 3 + 3/8 = 27/8 cups
Cups of water = 2 + 1/4 = 9/4 cups

Total cups of liquid = Cups of broth + Cups of water
= 27/8 + 9/4

To add fractions with different denominators, we need to find a common denominator.

The least common multiple of 8 and 4 is 8.

Total cups of liquid = (27/8)(2/2) + (9/4)(2/2)
= (54/16) + (18/8)
= 54/16 + 36/16
= 90/16
= 5 10/16

We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.

Total cups of liquid = (5/2)(1/8)
= 5/2
= 2 1/2 cups

Therefore, Philip uses 2 1/2 cups of liquid. Answer: \boxed{2 \frac{1}{2}} \text{ cups}.
