The city already has enough fencing to cover 3/4 of a mile. They need to replace a fence around the property with a total distance of 1 1/2 miles. To find out how much more distance of fencing they need to purchase, we can subtract the distance they already have from the total distance needed.
Total distance needed - Distance already have = Additional distance needed
= 1 1/2 miles - 3/4 miles
= 3/2 - 3/4
= 6/4 - 3/4
= 3/4
Therefore, the city needs to purchase an additional 3/4 of a mile of fencing.
