Step-by-step explanation:
Given :you walked 5 miles down a trail and then walked 2 1/4 miles back
To Find :how many miles away are you from your starting point?
Solution :
He traveled distance form starting point = 5 miles
He then walked back and traveled distance = [tex]2 \frac{1}{4} =\frac{9}{4} =2.25[/tex]
Distance between starting point and current position= 5 - 2.25 = 2.75 miles
Hence you are 2.75 miles away from your starting point
