Question

Tom jogged 3/5 mile on Monday and 2/6 mile on Tuesday. how much farther did Tom jog on Monday than on tuesday

Answer 1

3/5= 18/30, 2/6= 10/30, so Tom jogged 8/30 more of a mile on Monday then tuesday

Answer 2

`(4)/(15)` miles

Explanation:

Given,

The miles he jogged on Monday =
`(3)/(5)`,

While, the miles he jogged on Tuesday =
`(2)/(6)`

Thus, the different in miles on Monday and on Tuesday

`=(3)/(5)-(2)/(6)`

LCM (5, 6) = 30,

`=(18)/(30)-(10)/(30)`

`=(8)/(30)`

`=(4)/(15)`

Hence, he jogged
`(4)/(15)` miles farther on Monday than that of on tuesday.
