Tom jogged 3/5 mile on Monday and 2/6 mile on Tuesday. how much farther did Tom jog on Monday than on tuesday
3/5= 18/30, 2/6= 10/30, so Tom jogged 8/30 more of a mile on Monday then tuesday
Answer:
\(\frac{4}{15}\) miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
The miles he jogged on Monday = \(\frac{3}{5}\),
While, the miles he jogged on Tuesday = \(\frac{2}{6}\)
Thus, the different in miles on Monday and on Tuesday
\(=\frac{3}{5}-\frac{2}{6}\)
LCM (5, 6) = 30,
\(=\frac{18}{30}-\frac{10}{30}\)
\(=\frac{8}{30}\)
\(=\frac{4}{15}\)
Hence, he jogged \(\frac{4}{15}\) miles farther on Monday than that of on tuesday.
