Kara drove 36.9 miles before her car broke down. If Kara lives 45.55 miles away from work, how much further does she need to travel?

She needs to travel 8.65 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

Kara lives 45.55 miles away from work

So,

total distance is 45.55 miles

Kara drove 36.9 miles before her car broke down

so, distance traveled is 36.9 miles

now, we can find remaining distance

so,

remaining distance = (total distance) - (distance traveled)

we can plug value

and we get

remaining distance = 45.55-36.9

remaining distance = 8.65 miles

So,

She needs to travel 8.65 miles
