Question

The city park is 9 and 2/5 km from Roland Public School. The city library is 3 and 3/10 km from the same school. How much farther from the school is the park than the library? PLS HELP

Answer 1

Answer:

6 1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions (denominator × whole number + numerator / denominator):

9 2/5 = 47/5

3 3/10 = 33/10

Convert improper fractions to have the same denominator:

47/5 × 2/2 = 94/10

Find the difference by subtracting the numerators:

94/10 - 33/10 = 61/10

Convert the answer into a mixed number:

61/10 = 6 1/10
