Alice earned approximately 1.19 points more than Jill.
To find the difference between the number of points earned by Jill and the number of points earned by Alice, we need to first convert both amounts to a common denominator.
Since the denominators of the fractions representing the number of points earned by Jill and Alice are different, we will need to find a common denominator. To do this, we can find the least common multiple (LCM) of 7 and 3, which is 21.
We can then rewrite the fraction representing the number of points earned by Jill as 9 + 6/7 = (9 * 3 + 6)/21 = 27/21 + 6/21 = 33/21, and the fraction representing the number of points earned by Alice as 8 + 2/3 = (8 * 7 + 2)/21 = 56/21 + 2/21 = 58/21.
To find the difference between the number of points earned by Jill and the number of points earned by Alice, we can subtract the number of points earned by Alice from the number of points earned by Jill:
33/21 - 58/21
We can simplify this expression by combining like terms:
(33 - 58)/21 = -25/21
This represents a difference of -25/21 points, or approximately -1.19 points. Since a negative difference represents a smaller quantity, this means that Alice earned approximately 1.19 points more than Jill.
