Question

Mary lives 6/10 mile from school. Thad lives 9/8 miles from school. Mary says Thad lives farther from school. Is she correct? Explain.

Answer 1

Mary is correct If you think about it maby you will get it by now

Answer 2

Answer: Mary is correct.

9/8 is an improper fraction, so we change it to 1 1/8.

Mary lives less than a mile from school, so we know that Thad lives farther since he lives a mile and 1/8 away, and Mary only lives 6/10 away, which is less than a mile.

Glad I could help, and good luck!
