Question

John jogs 2 7/10 miles to the park. Marsha jogs 4/5 miles to the park. How much farther does John jog?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.9 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

John jogs 2 7/10 miles to the park. Marsha jogs 4/5 miles to the park.

Convert the fractions into decimals:

2 7/10 = 2.7

4/5 = 0.8

Subtract '0.8' from '2.7':

$2.7-0.8=1.9$

John should jog 1.9 miles farther than Marsha.

Hope this helps.
