Question

Pamela ran 7/10 mile on Tuesday and 3/8 mile on Thursday. How much fatter did she run on Tuesday ?

Answer 1

`Difference = (13)/(40)`

Explanation:

Given

`Thursday = (3)/(8)\ mile`

`Tuesday = (7)/(10)\ mile`

Required

How much farther is she on Tuesday

To do this, we simply calculate the difference between distance covered on both days.

`Difference = Tuesday-Thursday`

`Difference = (7)/(10) - (3)/(8)`

Take LCM

`Difference = (28- 15)/(40)`

`Difference = (13)/(40)`

Hence, she ran 13/40 mile farther on Tuesday
