Answer:
1.Sunday is the day when Mark ran the farthest.
2. Monday is the day when Mark ran the least.
3.Mark ran farther on Sunday compared to Tuesday.
Explanation:
To determine whether Mark ran farther on Tuesday or Sunday, we need to compare the distances he ran on each day.
On Tuesday, Mark jogged 9 3/10 miles.
On Sunday, Mark loped along for 9 1/3 miles.
Let's convert the fractions to a common denominator to make the comparison easier.
9 3/10 = 9 + 3/10 = 9 + 3/10 = 90/10 + 3/10 = 93/10
9 1/3 = 9 + 1/3 = 9 + 1/3 = 27/3 + 1/3 = 28/3
Now we can compare the distances:
- Tuesday: 93/10 miles
- Sunday: 28/3 miles
To compare fractions, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 30.
- Tuesday: (93/10) * (3/3) = 279/30
- Sunday: (28/3) * (10/10) = 280/30
From the comparison, we can see that Mark ran slightly farther on Sunday with a distance of 280/30 miles, which simplifies to 9 1/3 miles.
Therefore, Mark ran farther on Sunday compared to Tuesday.
