Question

If Jan jogged 7x - 12 miles and Julie jogged 35x - 60miles , how many times longer was Julie's travel distance than Jan's?

Answer 1

Julie jogged five times further than Jan.

Explanation:

We can find this solution just by dividing Julie's distance by Jan's:

`(35x - 60)/( 7x - 12) \\\\= (5(7x - 12))/( 7x - 12) \\\\= 5`

So Julie jogged five times further.
