Subtract the two distances.

Similar example:
Bianca paddles 10 km and Pauline travels 14 km
Pauline would travel 4 km further because 14-10 = 4.
This is not the final answer since it's a hypothetical example.

Edit: it seems like 2450 km might be a typo. Perhaps you meant to say 2450 m?

Some troubles with the problem's description:

-----------------------
,...Bianca paddles her kayak 3.6km down the river,while pauline paddles her kayak 2450km,....
-----------------------

Do they both start same place same time and go same direction?
Strange large distance that Pauline paddled. Is it Orange River in South Africa? So Pauline paddled the whole river, but Bianca only went a tiny fraction of that path. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_River)
