Tom jogged 3/5 mile on Monday and 2/6 mile on Tuesday. how much farther did Tom jog on Monday than on tuesday

Answer 1

3/5= 18/30, 2/6= 10/30, so Tom jogged 8/30 more of a mile on Monday then tuesday

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{4}{15}$ miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The miles he jogged on Monday = $\frac{3}{5}$,

While, the miles he jogged on Tuesday = $\frac{2}{6}$

Thus, the different in miles on Monday and on Tuesday

$=\frac{3}{5}-\frac{2}{6}$

LCM (5, 6) = 30,

$=\frac{18}{30}-\frac{10}{30}$

$=\frac{8}{30}$

$=\frac{4}{15}$

Hence, he jogged $\frac{4}{15}$ miles farther on Monday than that of on tuesday.
