Question

Rohit rode his bike 5 2/3

miles. Sarah rode her bike 5 1/5
miles. Write an inequality that compares the fractions. Explain in a sentence who rode a greater distance.

Answer 1

as a decimal 5 2/3 would be 5.67 rounded to the nearest hundredth. As a decimal 5 1/5 5.2 to the nearest tenth.

Rohit rode his bike a greater distance because 5 2/3 is only 1/3 away, while 5 1/5 is 4/5 away.

I hope this helps!
