Lynne ran farther and by 7/8 miles
You can tell Lynne ran further because she ran 3 whole miles while shelly only ran 2 whole miles. Now you have to subtract to see how much Lynne had ran more.
You found a common denominator between 8 and 4. 4 can turn into 8. so you multiply 4x2 and 1x2 to get a mixed number of 2 2/8
Now you have to turn 3 1/8 because you cannot subtract 2/8 from 1/8. You can turn the fraction into 2 9/8 because there are 8 pieces in a whole.
2 9/8 - 2 2/8 = 0 7/8
Hope this helps! :)

Step-by-step explanation:
my best guess! it is the best!
Answer:
3 3/7 or 24/7 mins
Step-by-step explanation:
Let total job = X
Jeff's rate = X/6
Bob's rate = X/8
Combined rate = X/6 + X/8
(4X × 3X)/24 = 7X/24
7X/24 = X/T
T = X ÷ (7X/24)
T = X × (24/7X)
T = 24/7 mins
Shortcut:
T = product of individual times/sum of individual times
T = (6×8)/(6+8)
T = 48/14
T = 24/7
T = 3 3/7 mins
