Question

Marcos ran 5 2/4 miles on sat and 3 3/4 miles on monday,how much father did he run on sat

Answer 1

1 3/4 miles farther

Explanation:

To answer this, subtract 3 3/4 from 5 2/4.

Since 3/4 is greater than 2/4, we must 'borrow' from the integer, 5:

5 2/4 = 4 6/4

Then subtract 3 3/4 from 4 6/4, obtaining 1 3/4.

Marcos ran 1 3/4 miles farther on Saturday than he did on Monday.
