Question

may runs 10/4 miles everyday after school. Beth says that she runs farther than May every day because she runs 5/2 miles everyday after school. is her statement correct

Answer 1

Yes her statement is correct i think well maybe it is because if you cut 3 rectangles in to 2 than you color in 5 and stop and draw a rectangle with 4 in 3 rectangles and color in 10 and the two has less shaded in so the one who ran more was beth cause if you put it into a mixed number it is 2 and 1/2 and May's mixed number is 2 and 2/4 and the dinominator 2 is greater than the dinominator 4 cause 2 has bigger pices and 4 has smaller pices
