Question

You are walking from home to a grocery store you stop for a rest after 2/5 miles the grocery store is actually 3/4 miles from home how much farther do you have to walk

Answer 1

7/20 mile farther

Explanation:

Subtracting 2/5 mile from 3/4 mile results in the distance you still have to walk:

3/4 - 2/5 = ?

Here the LCD is 20. Thus, 3/4 becomes 15/20 and 2/5 becomes 8/20.

Then 3/4 - 2/5 = 15/20 - 8/20, or 7/20.

You still have 7/20 mile to walk to get home.
