4 3/4 - 3 1/4 = 1 2/4, which is 1 1/2 OR 1.5

Let

x--------> the distance in miles that Renee need to hike to return to the place

we know that

[tex]x=4\frac{3}{4}-3\frac{1}{4}[/tex] --------> equation [tex]1[/tex]

Step [tex]1[/tex]

convert mixed number to an improper fraction

[tex]4\frac{3}{4}\ miles=\frac{4*4+3}{4} =\frac{19}{4}\ miles[/tex]

[tex]3\frac{1}{4}\ miles=\frac{3*4+1}{4} =\frac{13}{4}\ miles[/tex]

Step [tex]2[/tex]

Substitute the values in the equation [tex]1[/tex] and find the value of x

[tex]x=\frac{19}{4}-\frac{13}{4}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{6}{4}=\frac{3}{2}=1.5\ miles[/tex]

therefore

the answer is

[tex]1.5\ miles[/tex]
