If you subtract Felip's distance from Nan's distance, you'll get the amount of excess miles that Nan is from the airport compared to Felip. \[\large 13\frac{1}{2}-6\frac{1}{4}\]

To solve this, we'll want to change our MIXED NUMBERS to IMPROPER FRACTIONS ok?

JUST DO 13.5-6.25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[13.5-6.25\]

Yah working with decimals might be easier :) Unless your teacher wants you to learn fractions. But ya that method will be a little simpler ^^
