he jogged 4/15 mile more on Monday than Tuesday. You figure this out by finding a common denominator, 30, then multiply 3/5 by 6/6 to get 18/30. Do 2/6 multiplied by 5/5 to get 10/30. You then subtract 10/30 from 18/30 to get 8/30. Then simplify, do 8 divided by 2 and 30 divided by 2 to get your answer, 4/15.
