Question

Ima jogged 9/10 of a mile on Monday and 6/10 of a mile on Tuesday.How much farther did Sima jog on Monday than on Tuesday?

Answer 1

528 Yards or 1,584 Feet.

Explanation:

To find how far Sima jogged, we can first convert the value of a mile into yards or feet.

1 mile = 1760 Yards or 5280 Feet

Now we know that Sima jogged a total of 9/10 of a mile on Monday. This can be represented as:

0.90 x 1760 = 1,584 Yards.

or

0.90 x 5280 = 4,752 Feet.

Now we calculate how much Sima jogged on Tuesday.

0.60 x 1760 = 1,056 Yards.

or

0.60 x 5280 = 3,168 Feet.

Now that we have the values of both days, we simply subtract the amount of the Monday jog to the Tuesday jog.

1,584 - 1,056 = 528 Yards

or

4,752 - 3,168 = 1,584 Feet.
