Question

jesse drive 6 3/8 miles in a golf cart during a round of golf. Payton drives 7 3/4 miles . how much father dose payton drives

Answer 1

Hello!  To answer your question, on how much farther Payton drives than Jesse, you need to understand the needed operation for this problem.  From the given problem, you can assume that 7 3/4 is a bigger fraction than Jesse's 6 3/8.  Once you figure out which operation is needed to find out how much more Peyton drove, you want to make both mixed numbers into inproper fractions.  To make a mixed number into an improper fraction, you multiple the whole number by the denometer and add the product to the numeratior.  Think of it as going around a clock if that helps.  Once they are both improper, give them both a common denometer (if needed).  Once you do that, you use the operation you decided on earlier; multiplication, division, addition, or subtraction.  If you have any other questions on my answer, or any information I've given, feel free to shoot me a message or another question.  I hope this helped, good luck!

Answer 2

He drives a mile and 3/8 further than Jesse.
