Answer:

The difference (in km) between what Kayden ran and what Jayden ran is, 7.867 km.

Explanation:

The information provided is as follows:

  • Kayden ran 8 km.
  • Cayden ran half of distance Kayden ran.
  • Isaac ran 1/5 of the distance Cayden ran.
  • Jayden ran 1/6 of what Isaac ran.

So, using the given information it can be said that Cayden ran 4 km.

Then the distance Isaac ran is,
4\ \text{km}*(1)/(5)=0.8\ \text{km}.

Then the distance Jayden ran is,
0.8\ \text{km}*(1)/(6)=0.133\ \text{km}

Compute the difference (in km) between what Kayden ran and what Jayden ran as follows:


K-J=8-0.133=7.867

Thus, the difference (in km) between what Kayden ran and what Jayden ran is, 7.867 km.
