Question

Krystal jobbed 8 ¾ miles on Wednesday and 3 ⅓ miles on Thursday. How much further did she jog on Wednesday then Thursday?

Answer 1

The answer for this is 5 5/1#

Answer 2

Answer:

$5\frac{5}{12}$ more miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We subtract 3 1/3 from 8 3/4.

Let's subtract the whole numbers first:

8 - 3 = 5

Now, for the fractions, we need a common denominator, which will be the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators: the LCM of 3 and 4 is 12. So:

1/3 = 4/12

3/4 = 9/12

9/12 - 4/12 = 5/12

Now, we just put the fractional part and non-fractional part together:

5$\frac{5}{12}$

Thus, the answer is $5\frac{5}{12}$ more miles.

Hope this helps!
