Question

Isaiah hikes 11/12 mile along the Lake View Trail. Cheryl hikes 3/5 mile along the same trail. Who hikes farther?

Answer 1

$\frac{11}{12}=\frac{11}{12}\cdot\frac{5}{5}=\frac{55}{60}$$\frac{3}{5}=\frac{3}{5}\cdot\frac{12}{12}=\frac{36}{60}$$\begin{gathered} \frac{55}{60}>\frac{36}{60} \\ or\text{ what is the same,} \\ \frac{11}{12}>\frac{3}{5} \end{gathered}$

Isaiah hikes farther
