Question

Krystal jobbed 8 ¾ miles on Wednesday and 3 ⅓ miles on Thursday. How much further did she jog on Wednesday then Thursday?

I have to answer this please help!

Answer 1

The answer for this is 5 5/1#

Answer 2

`5(5)/(12)` more miles

Explanation:

We subtract 3 1/3 from 8 3/4.

Let's subtract the whole numbers first:

8 - 3 = 5

Now, for the fractions, we need a common denominator, which will be the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators: the LCM of 3 and 4 is 12. So:

1/3 = 4/12

3/4 = 9/12

9/12 - 4/12 = 5/12

Now, we just put the fractional part and non-fractional part together:

5
`(5)/(12)`

Thus, the answer is
`5(5)/(12)` more miles.

Hope this helps!
