Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS): 4.8.c
solve problems that deal with measurements of length, intervals of time, liquid volumes, mass, and money using addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division as appropriate.
Georgia Standards of Excellence (GSE): 4.MDR.1
Use the four operations to solve problems involving elapsed time to the nearest minute, intervals of time, metric measurements of liquid volumes, lengths, distances, and masses of objects, including problems involving fractions with like denominators, and also problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit, and expressing a smaller unit in terms of a larger unit based on the idea of equivalence.

The four operations are addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Representing and solving word problems involves choosing the correct operation(s).

Some word problems involve measurements.

$\frac{5}{8}$	−	$\frac{3}{8}$	=	$\frac{2}{8}$
	−		=

So, the grocery store is

\frac{2}{8}

of a mile farther than the bookstore, from where Deana lives.
