Question

Val walks to 2 3/5 miles each day bill runs 10 miles once every four days in four days, Who covers the greater distance

Answer 1

Answer:

Bill does.

Step-by-step explanation:

10 is a whole number while 2 3/5 is a mixed number and 10 is greater than 2 3/5 so Bill covered the farther distance

Answer 2

The problem gives a distance with a fraction (not a decimal); there is absolutely no reason to convert it to a decimal.

In 4 days, Val walks

    4*(2 3/5) miles

    4*(13/5) miles                 52/5 miles

      10 2/5 miles            

Compare that to Bill, who runs 10 miles every 4 days.
