Explanation:

Step1: Identify total and known distance

Total distance (Dayton to Oakdale) is 12.74 miles. Distance from Hampton to Oakdale is 5.8 miles. Let \( x \) be Dayton to Hampton.

Step2: Set up equation

\( x + 5.8 = 12.74 \)

Step3: Solve for \( x \)

Subtract 5.8 from both sides: \( x = 12.74 - 5.8 \)
Calculate: \( x = 6.94 \)

Answer:

6.94
