Answer 2

Hey There!

Steps to solve (steps will be in numerical order)

1. Find the lcd of the fractions $\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{2}{3}$ . The lcd for both problems will be 12.

2. To rewrite $\frac{3}{4}$ you have to multiply the numerator and denominator by three since the lcd is 12. So you're new fraction will be $\frac{9}{12}$. For the second fraction, since the lcd is 12 you will multiply the numerator and denominator by 4. You're new fraction will be $\frac{8}{12}$.

3. Since the problem contains the math keyword "Further", you automatically know you have to subtract, now subtract $\frac{9}{12}$ - $\frac{8}{12}$. First, start of by subtracting the numerators, so subtract 9-8=1 , remember the denominators will always stay the same.

In conclusion, you're answer will be $\frac{1}{12}$, so Isabel lives $\frac{1}{12}$ farther away from Janet.

Hope This Helps :)
