Question

anton is traing for a cross country race he ran 2 2/4 miles on saturdaty and 3 1/4 mile on sunday how much farther did anton run on sunday how do you know

Answer 1

3/4 mile

Explanation:

This is a subtraction problem.

3 1/4 - 2 2/4

Since you can't take away 2/4 from 1/4, you need to borrow 1 from the 3. That 1 is borrowed as 4/4 and added to the 1/4 changing the 3 1/4 to 2 5/4.

3 1/4 - 2 2/4 = 2 5/4 - 2 2/4 = 3/4

Answer: 3/4 mile
