Given:
The distance from Matt’s home to school is [tex]\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex] of a mile.
He has biked [tex]\dfrac{3}{8}[/tex] of a mile.
To find:
How much further does he have to bike?
Solution:
We have,
Total distance from Matt’s home to school = [tex]\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex] of a mile.
Distance covered = [tex]\dfrac{3}{8}[/tex] of a mile.
Remaining Distance = [tex]\dfrac{5}{8}-\dfrac{3}{8}[/tex] of a mile
= [tex]\dfrac{5-3}{8}[/tex] of a mile
= [tex]\dfrac{2}{8}[/tex] of a mile
= [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex] of a mile
Matt has [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex] mile left to bike.
Therefore, the correct option is A.
