Solve the following subtraction problems.
a. 8 mi 133 yd 2 ft – 5 mi 107 yd 2 ft

3 miles 26 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to perform subtraction on the following:

8 mi 133 yd 2 ft – 5 mi 107 yd 2 ft

We have to divide the amount of miles from miles, yards from yards and feet from feet. So a good idea is to write it this way in order to avoid any confusion:

   8 mi 133 yd 2 ft

-   5 mi 107 yd 2 ft

   3 mi  26 yd 0 ft

So we are left with 3 miles 26 yards.
