Question

Sharon's house, the library, and Lisa's house are all on the same straight road. Sharon has to ride her bike 1 3/5 miles to get from her house to the library and another 2 3/4 miles to get from the library to Lisa's house. How much closer to the library does Sharon live than Lisa?

Answer 1

1.15 miles closer

Explanation:

you just subtract 1 3/5 from 2 3/4

1 3/5 = 1 12/20

2 3/4 = 2 15/20

2 15/20- 1 12/20 = 1 3/20 = 1.15
