The distance between the school and the library is 3 1/2 miles. The distance between the library and town hall is 1 1/4 miles. How many miles farther is it from the school to the library to town hall

To find the total distance from the school to the library and then to town hall, we add the distances together:

3 1/2 + 1 1/4 = 7/2 + 5/4 = 14/4 + 5/4 = 19/4 = <<19/4=4.75>>4.75 miles

So, it is 4.75 miles farther from the school to the library to town hall. Answer: \boxed{4.75}.
