To compare, we will change all to the same denominators:

\text {Nadine =}  \dfrac{1}{4}  =  \dfrac{6}{24} \text { miles}

\text {Janet =}  \dfrac{3}{8}  =  \dfrac{9}{24} \text { miles}

\text {Perry =}  \dfrac{5}{6}  =  \dfrac{20}{24} \text { miles}

Perry walked the furthest.

\dfrac{20}{24} - \dfrac{6}{24} = \dfrac{14}{24} = \dfrac{7}{12}

Perry walked 7/12 miles more than Nadine.

Convert the unlike fractions. the LCD is 24
1*6/4*6 = 6/24,    3*3/8*3 = 9/24,    5*4/6*4 = 20/24
Compare the three fractions. The largest is 20/24, so Perry walked the farthest.

Subtract Nadine's distance from Perry's distance to find out how much farther Perry walked than Nadine
20/24 - 6/24 = 14/24 mile
14 divided by 2/ 24 divided by 2 = 7/12 mile
Perry walked 7/12 mile farther than Nadine.
