Question

It took Sheldon 17 5/6 minutes to walk to Raj's house. The bus ride home took Sheldon 4 5/8 minutes. How many more minutes did it take Sheldon to walk than to take the bus?

Answer 1

Answer:

it will take her  $13\frac{5}{24}$ minutes more to walk down to Raj's House

Step-by-step explanation:

It took Sheldon $17 \frac{5}{6}$  minutes to walk to Raj's house

It also took Sheldon $4\frac{5}{8}$ minutes to use the bus.

To get the time difference between the two transport mechanisms, we subtract their different time durations.

This will be

$17\frac{5}{6} - 4\frac{5}{8}=317/24$

We can convert this to Mixed fractions as shown $13\frac{5}{24}$ minutes.

Therefore, it will take her  $13\frac{5}{24}$ minutes more to walk down to Raj's House
