francie lives 1/5 mile from the school. jake lives 2/10 mile from the school. Do they live the same distance from the school? Explain.

Verified Answer :

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given,

Francie lives \(\frac{1}{5}\) miles from the school.

Jake lives \(\frac{2}{10}\) miles from the school.

It is required to find whether they live the same distance from the school.

Now, as Jake lives \(\frac{2}{10}\) miles from the school.

This gives that he lives, \(\frac{2}{10}\) = \(\frac{1}{5}\) miles from the school.

So, we see that both Francie and Jake lives \(\frac{1}{5}\) miles from the school.

Hence, they both live the same distance from the school.
