You will want to subtract the amount he ran on Monday from the amount on Tuesday. In order to subtract fractions, we must set them to the same denominator (bottom number). In order to do this, we must multiply 3/5 by 6/6 (the denominator on tuesday) which gets us 18/30. Then, for Tuesday, we must multiply 2/6 by 5/5 (the denominator on Monday) which is 10/30. Now, we can do Monday-Tuesday, 18/30-10/30 which gets us 8/30, if we simplify this, we get 4/15 :)
If you want to see if they are equivalent just substitute any number such as 2, so 2.5(2) = 5 and 2 + 5 = 7, so they are not equivalent (THIS IS TRUE UNLESS YOU DIDNT PUT THE X VALUE IN THE QUESTION)
Jill will pick up 24 and jack will pick up 25
8.00*25.00*23.00=? (Zeros not necessary; needed to fill character requirement).
