Question

Julie spent 2/3 of an hour running and 5/6 of an hour swimming. How much longer did she swim than run?

Answer 1

Running = 2/3

Swimming = 5/6

5/6 - 2/3 = 5/6 - 4/6 = 1/6

Answer : She spent 1/6 hour longer swimming than running.

Answer 2

Answer:
`(1)/(6)` hour

Explanation:

Given : Julie spent
`(2)/(3)` of an hour running and
`(5)/(6)` of an hour swimming.

To find how much time longer she swam than run we need to subtract the swimming time from the running time, we have

`(5)/(6)-(2)/(3)\\\\=(5-2(2))/(6)\\\\=(5-4)/(6)\\\\\=(1)/(6)`

Therefore , we can say that she swam
`(1)/(6)` hour longer than run.
