Answer:
6/7 > 1/2
1/3 < 1/2
Suki rode her bike a longer distance than Clarie
Step-by-step explanation:
Suki's distance = 6/7 miles
Compare with bechmark 1/2
6/7 and 1/2
Make the denominators same
(6*2)/(7*2) and (1*7)/(2*7)
12/14 and 7/14
12/14 is greater than 7/14
12/14 > 7/14
Therefore, 6/7 > 1/2
Clarie distance = 1/3 miles
Compare with bechmark 1/2
1/3 and 1/2
Make the denominators same
(1*2)/(3*2) and (1*3)/(2*3)
2/6 and 3/6
2/6 is less than 3/6
2/6 < 3/6
Therefore,
1/3 < 1/2
Compare Suki's distance with Clarie
compare 6/7 and 1/3
Make the denominators same
(6 * 3)/(7 * 3) and (1 * 7)/(3 * 7)
18/21 and 7/21
18/21 > 7/21
Suki rode her bike a longer distance than Clarie
