Question

Alisha hiked a trail that was 9/10 mile and Joseph hiked a trail that was 5/10 mile. How much farther did Alisha hike than Joseph?

Answer 1

4/10 or 2/5 of a mile more.

Explanation:

Since the denominators are the same, all you have to do is subtract the numerators.

9-5=10.

Therefore, Alisha hiked 2/5 of a mile further than Joseph.
