Answer 1

Matt ran 6 miles.

Explanation:

Stan ran 4 and 7/10 miles, and this is 1 and 3/10 fewer miles than Matt.

this means that Matt ran the following amount of miles

4 and 7/|0 + 1 and 3/10 miles:

(4 + 1) + (7/10 + 3/10) = 5 + 10/10 = 6 miles.

This would be the correct way to solve this equation.
