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 than from the library to Town Hall
1 answer
To find the difference in distance between the school and the library and the library and Town Hall, we subtract the distance between the library and Town Hall (1 1/4 miles) from the distance between the school and the library (3 1/2 miles): 3 1/2 miles - 1 1/4 miles = <<3 1/2-1 1/4=2 1/4>>2 1/4 miles. Answer: \boxed{2\frac{1}{4}}.
