Verified Answer :

The two girls did not travel the same distance, because 0.07 is seven hundredths (7/100), and it is less than 7/10. ;)

Answer:

Both girls traveled different distances.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Mei rode her bike 7/10 miles to school. Her friend Julie walked. 0.07 miles to school. We are asked to determine whether the distance traveled by both girls are equal or not.

First of all, we will represent 7/10 miles into decimal as:

\(\frac{7}{10}\text{ miles}=0.7\text{ miles}\)

We can see that Mei traveled 0.7 miles, while Julie traveled 0.07 miles. Since 0.7 is not equal to 0.07, therefore, both girls traveled different distances.
