Question

Carol jogged 1¾ miles on 5 days last week.She jogged 2¼ miles on 4 days this week.was her total distance greater last week or this week?how much greater? explain

Answer 1

Answer:

this week... 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

so 2.25> 1.75

and if you subtract (you can use a calculator) 1.75 from 2.25, that's .5 which is 1/2

Answer 2

Carol ran greater this week and 2/4 was the difference. (I’m pretty sure)

1 3/4 = 7/4 as an improper fraction 2 1/4 = 9/4 as an improper fraction.

9/4 is greater than 7/4 meaning she ran greater this week.


9/4 - 7/4 = 2/4 difference
