Question

On Saturday, Jamal jogged 2 ½ miles and on Sunday he jogged 3 ⅛ miles. Tom jogged 5 ¾ miles on Sunday. Which boy jogged farther this weekend? By how much?

Answer 1

Tom jogged father by 0.125miles or 1/8 miles

Explanation:

Distance that jamal jogged: 2.5+3.125=5.625miles or
`5(5)/(8)` miles

Distance that Tom jogged: 5 + 3/4 miles =5.75miles

`5(3)/(4) - 5(5)/(8)=5(6)/(8)-5(5)/(8)`

=
`(1)/(8)` or 0.125miles
