Question

Higher Order Thinking Lemmy walked 3 1/2 miles on Saturday and miles 4 3/4 on Sunday. Ronnie walked 5 3/8 miles on Saturday. Who walked farther? How much farther?

Answer 1

Lemmy ; 2 7/8 miles

Explanation:

Given that :

Distance walked by Lemmy:

Saturday = 3 1/2 miles

Sunday = 4 3/4 miles

Total distance walked by Lemmy:

3 1/2 + 4 3/4

7/2 + 19/4

(14 + 19) / 4

33 / 4

= 8 1/4

Miles walked by Ronnie : 5 3/8

Lemmy walked farther because : 8 1/4 > 5 3/8

Number of distance walked farther than Ronnie :

8 1/4 - 5 3/8

33/4 - 43/8

(66 - 43) / 8

= 23/ 8

= 2 7/8 miles
