Question

Hassan and Eva rode their bikes from the same starting point. Hassan rode his bike 5/6 of a mile, while Eva rode hers 4/7 of a mile. Which equationshows the mileage difference, d, in the distances they rode?5/6 - d = 4/75/6+d=4/7d÷4/7=5/6d-5/6=4/7

Answer 1

1) Given those data, let's write:

Hassan 5/6 of a mile: 5/6m

Eva 4/7 of mile = 4/7m

2) Since we want to know the difference, then we must subtract 4/7 from 5/6

Let's call by d, the distance. Then we can write

5/6 -4/7 = d

Rearranging it, adding 4/7 to both sides, and subtracting d from both sides, we have:

5/6 -d = 4/7

And since 5/6 -d = 4/7 will yield the same as 5/6-4/7 = d

3) Hence, The answer is

5/6 - d=4/7
