(1 point)

slauson ave 1
jct 90 1¼
jefferson blvd 1½

○ ¼ of a mile
○ ½ of a mile
○ 1 mile
○ 1 ½ miles

Explanation:

Step1: Identify distances from sign

Jefferson Blvd: $1\frac{1}{2}$ miles; Jct 90: $1\frac{1}{4}$ miles

Step2: Convert to improper fractions

$1\frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2}$, $1\frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{4}$

Step3: Subtract to find the difference

$\frac{3}{2} - \frac{5}{4} = \frac{6}{4} - \frac{5}{4} = \frac{1}{4}$

Answer:

$\frac{1}{4}$ of a mile
