4 kilometres is 4000 meters
4000 meters - 3400 meters = 600 meters
and as John is the one that rode 4 kilometres he rode further and by 600 meters
So, initially 240

-212

were empty:
this is :

12/4 is 4 so that's why i substituted it with 4.
now, later 27 1/3 were used so we add this tho the original empty space

=

=

Erm... I’m here for the points pero me no ingles porque es español!!
Example- 1/3 or 1/5, which is larger? If you divide 1 by 3 the answer is 0.33 If you divide 1 by 5 it's 0.2. Since 0.33(1/3) is larger that would be the answer.
sorry if I make this confusing.
basically divide the top by the bottom to see which is larger. Then compare the fractions.
