You basically have to do 1 3/4 times 1/2

\(1 \frac{3}{4} * \frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{4} * \frac{1}{2} = \frac{7*1}{4*2} = \frac{7}{8}\ \textless \ -answer\)

Answer:

\(\frac{7}{8}\) miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between Dominick's house and his school is given as  \(1\frac{3}{4}\) miles or  \(\frac{7}{4}\) miles

His mother drives him half the way to school that means distance drivers by his mother =  \(\frac{1}{2}\) ×  \(\frac{7}{4}\)  miles

                       =  \(\frac{7}{8}\) miles

Now remaining distance that Dominick has to walk

             =  \(\frac{7}{8}\) miles

Therefore, Dominick has to walk  \(\frac{7}{8}\) miles.
