Answer:
[tex]\dfrac{15}{8}=1\dfrac{7}{8}\ \text{blocks}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance to the restaurant from Carlos is [tex]5\dfrac{3}{8}=\dfrac{43}{8}\ \text{blocks}[/tex]
Distance of the ball field from Carlos' home is [tex]7\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{29}{4}\ \text{blocks}[/tex]
He first goes to the restaurant so he covers a distance of [tex]\dfrac{43}{8}\ \text{blocks}[/tex].
Now the distance from the restaurant to the ball field is
[tex]\dfrac{29}{4}-\dfrac{43}{8}\\ =\dfrac{58-43}{8}\\ =\dfrac{15}{8}=1\dfrac{7}{8}\ \text{blocks}[/tex].
So, Carlos would have to walk [tex]1\dfrac{7}{8}\ \text{blocks}[/tex] farther to get to the ball field.
