Trip to the Amusement Park (Use the number lines to solve word problems involving subtraction of fractions with like and unlike denominators)

Billy and Peter are going to the amusement park with their families. Each family is taking their own car for the ride. Once everyone reached the park, Billy’s dad said: “we drove five and one eighth miles” and Peter’s dad said: “my car’s odometer says we drove four and three fourths miles”. Can you find the difference between the two distances?
