Question

Ben ran 3/10 of a mile. Shelly ran 8/10 of a mile. How many more miles did Shelly run than Ben? A) 11/10 B) 11/20 C) 5/0 D) 5/10

Answer 1

Hello there! Shelly ran D) 5/10 more miles than Ben.

To find the difference between the two runner's distances, subtract the smaller distance from the greater distance.

8/10 - 3/10 = 5/10

Since there is a difference of 5/10, this means Shelly ran 5/1 more miles.

I hope this helps, & have a great rest of your day! :)
