Question

Candice and christ run a relay race at recess. Candice runs 1/2 of a lap around the track. Chris runs 1/3 of a lap around the track. How much farther does candice run that chris?

Answer 1

Answer:

Candice ran 1/6 of a lap further than Chris.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out how much further Candice runs than Chris, subtract the distance Chris runs from the distance Candice runs

so

$\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{3-2}{6}=\frac{1}{6}\ lap$

therefore

Candice ran 1/6 of a lap further than Chris.
