So far john has run 1/4 of the way to school and walked 3/8 of the way.What fraction of the distance to school does john have left?

1/4 = 2/8

(2/8) + 3/8) = 5/8

(8/8) - (5/8) = 3/8
5/8
its 3/8 because 1/4 is equivalent to 2/8. Now we can work with these fractions. 2/8+3/8=5/8. when you subtract you subtract the whole to the fractions so 8/8(or 1) -5/8=3/8.

if you still need help just google it or something
