In the morning a group of hikers hiked 3 ½ miles, took a break, and then hiked another 2 ¾ miles. The group then stopped for lunch. In the afternoon, the group the hiked 4 ¼ miles, and took another break. How many more miles do they need if the whole trail is 14 miles long?
1/2 is equivalent to 2/4 so you add 3 2/4 + 2 3/4 and that = 6 1/4 and its simple math from there on, 6 1/4 + 4 1/4 = 10 2/4 finally 14 - 10 2/4 = 3 2/4
