Answer 1

Randy jogged farther on Tuesday and the difference in distance is 0.09 miles. The total distance Randy jogged on the combined days is 6.67 miles. Hence the correct answer is option C and D

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare the distances Randy jogged on Monday and Tuesday, we need to convert the distances from mixed numbers to decimal numbers. On Monday, Randy jogged 3 29 miles, which is equivalent to 3 + 29/100 = 3.29 miles. On Tuesday, Randy jogged 3 38 miles, which is equivalent to 3 + 38/100 = 3.38 miles.

Comparing the distances, we can see that Randy jogged farther on Tuesday. The difference in distance is 3.38 - 3.29 = 0.09 miles.

On the combined days, Randy jogged a total distance of 3.29 + 3.38 = 6.67 miles.

Hence the correct answer is option C and D
