Taner and Jaylen are practicing for a track meet. Last week, Taner ran 900 meters on each of 3 days. Jaylen ran 1.2 kilometers on each of 2 days. Which boy ran farther last week and by how much?

Okay, here are the steps to solve this problem:

* Taner ran 900 meters on each of 3 days. So in total Taner ran 900 * 3 = 2700 meters.

* Jaylen ran 1.2 kilometers on each of 2 days. So 1.2 km = 1200 meters. And 1200 * 2 = 2400 meters.

So in total:

Taner ran 2700 meters

Jaylen ran 2400 meters

Taner ran 2700 - 2400 = 300 more meters than Jaylen last week.

Therefore, Taner ran farther last week, by 300 meters.
