Question

On Tuesday pierce ran 3/4 mile and walked 3/4 mile. On Wednesday he ran 2/4 mile and walked 1 1/4 miles. How much farther did pierce run and walk on Wednesday than on Tuesday? Explain.

Answer 1

It’s embarrassing how pierce can’t even run a mile. Truly disappointed!

Answer 2

Pierce ran/walked 7/4 or (1 3/4) miles more on wednesday than on tuesday

Explanation:

so on tuesday he ran :

3/4 + 3/4 miles which = 6/4 miles

on wednesday he ran and walked:

2/4 + 11/4 = 13/4 miles

so to find out how many miles more find the difference between them:

13/4 - 6/4 = 7/4 ( 1 3/4 )
