Certainly! Let’s work through the problem step by step.
1. Identify the total distance to be traveled: The man needs to travel a total distance of 12.650 kilometers (km).
2. Identify the distance already traveled: The man has already traveled 7.8 kilometers (km).
3. Determine the remaining distance to be traveled: To find out how much further he needs to travel, we subtract the distance he has already traveled from the total distance.
So, we perform the subtraction:
[tex]\[
\text{Remaining Distance} = \text{Total Distance} - \text{Distance Traveled}
\][/tex]
Substituting the given values:
[tex]\[
\text{Remaining Distance} = 12.650 \, \text{km} - 7.8 \, \text{km}
\][/tex]
4. Calculate the result: When we subtract 7.8 km from 12.650 km, the remaining distance is:
[tex]\[
\text{Remaining Distance} = 4.850 \, \text{km}
\][/tex]
Therefore, the man needs to travel an additional 4.850 kilometers to reach his destination.
