Q. After hiking 5.255.25 miles, Tom realized he was lost and retraced his steps for 3.83.8 miles. How far is he from his starting point?
  1. Identify distances: Identify the total distance hiked before retracing steps and the distance retraced.\newlineTom hiked 5.255.25 miles before realizing he was lost. He then retraced his steps for 3.83.8 miles.
  2. Calculate remaining distance: Calculate the remaining distance from the starting point after retracing steps.\newlineTo find out how far Tom is from his starting point, we subtract the distance he retraced from the total distance he hiked before retracing.\newline5.255.25 miles - 3.83.8 miles = 1.451.45 miles
