Answer:

Josh bike
(5)/(6) miles more.

Explanation:

Given:

Josh biked
1 (1)/(3) miles to school.

Callie biked
(1)/(2) miles to school.

Now, to find the miles more Josh biked than Callie.

So, to get the miles more Josh biked than Callie we subtract the miles Callie biked from the miles Josh biked:


1 (1)/(3) -
(1)/(2)


=(4)/(3) -(1)/(2)


=(8-3)/(6)


=(5)/(6)\ miles.

Therefore, Josh bike
(5)/(6) miles more.
