Question

It took Sheldon 17 5/6 minutes to walk to Raj's house. The bus ride home took Sheldon 4 5/8 minutes. How many more minutes did it take Sheldon to walk than to take the bus?

Answer 1

it will take her
`13(5)/(24)` minutes more to walk down to Raj's House

Explanation:

It took Sheldon
`17 (5)/(6)` minutes to walk to Raj's house

It also took Sheldon
`4(5)/(8)` minutes to use the bus.

To get the time difference between the two transport mechanisms, we subtract their different time durations.

This will be

`17(5)/(6) - 4(5)/(8)=317/24`

We can convert this to Mixed fractions as shown
`13(5)/(24)` minutes.

Therefore, it will take her
`13(5)/(24)` minutes more to walk down to Raj's House
