Seth has already walked 5/8 mile. It takes 1 3/8 miles to get to school. How much farther does he have to go?
3/4?
Aviva needs fresh lemon juice to make cheesecake. She bought 2 lemon but needed only 1 1/4 lemons for the amount of juice she needs. How much lemon does she have left over?

It usually takes Amalie 1 3/4 hours to get to her aunts house. Due to Thanksgiving traffic this year it took 3 1/3 hours. How much longer did it take this year?
1 7/12?
Jose has 8 1/2 cups of Plaster of Paris powder. If Jose uses 5 3/5 cups for a sculpture how much plaster will he have left?
2 9/10?
I have to write in simplest form again. Are they all in it?
Yes -- all are right and in the simplest forms! :-)
Thank you
You're welcome.

To find out how much farther Seth has to go, we need to subtract the distance he has already walked from the total distance to school.
Seth has already walked 5/8 mile, and it takes 1 3/8 miles to get to school. To find out how much farther he has to go, we subtract 5/8 from 1 3/8.
1 3/8 - 5/8 = (8/8 + 3/8) - 5/8 = 11/8 - 5/8 = 6/8 = 3/4
Therefore, Seth has 3/4 of a mile left to go.
To find out how much lemon Aviva has left over, we need to subtract the amount of lemon juice needed from the total amount of lemon she bought.
Aviva bought 2 lemons and needed 1 1/4 lemons. To find out how much lemon she has left over, we subtract 1 1/4 from 2.
2 - 1 1/4 = 2 - (4/4 + 1/4) = 2 - 5/4 = 8/4 - 5/4 = 3/4
Therefore, Aviva has 3/4 of a lemon left over.
To find out how much longer it took Amalie to get to her aunt's house this year, we need to subtract the usual travel time from the actual travel time.
Amalie usually takes 1 3/4 hours to get to her aunt's house, but this year it took 3 1/3 hours. To find out how much longer it took, we subtract 1 3/4 from 3 1/3.
3 1/3 - 1 3/4 = (3 + 1/3) - (1 + 3/4) = 3 - 1 + 1/3 - 3/4 = 2 + (-2/12) = 2 - 1/6 = 11/6 - 1/6 = 10/6 = 5/3
Therefore, it took Amalie 5/3 hours longer to get to her aunt's house this year.
To find out how much plaster Jose will have left, we need to subtract the amount used for the sculpture from the total amount he has.
Jose has 8 1/2 cups of plaster of Paris powder, and he uses 5 3/5 cups for a sculpture. To find out how much plaster he will have left, we subtract 5 3/5 from 8 1/2.
8 1/2 - 5 3/5 = (8 + 1/2) - (5 + 3/5) = 8 - 5 + 1/2 - 3/5 = 3 + (-1/2) + 2/5 = 3 - 5/10 + 4/10 = 3 - 1/10 = 29/10 = 2 9/10
Therefore, Jose will have 2 9/10 cups of plaster left.
Finally, yes, all the answers given above are already in their simplest form.
