National Park Road Trip: Decimal Checkpoints

Use decimal operations to check distances, supplies, and travel costs.

1. Check the Distance Log

Samira and Eli are helping plan their families’ road trip across several national parks. Use standard algorithms. Show your work on separate paper and give exact answers.

1.
The first two driving sections are 186.75 miles and 249.8 miles.

186.75 + 249.8 =   miles

2.
A planned route is 600 miles long. The family has driven 278.65 miles.

600 − 278.65 =   miles remaining

3.
Three entries in the distance log are 42.65 miles, 138.7 miles, and 96.85 miles.

42.65 + 138.7 + 96.85 =   miles
