Carrie runs 5 loops of mi each and Chris runs 2 loops of mi each.
Who runs farther and by how much?
How long is each of these loops?
The question is incomplete. Carrie runs 5 loops of 5/8 miles each and Chris runs 2 loops of 1 3/4 mi each, who runs the futher.
5 * (5/8) = 25/8 = 3 1/8 miles
2 * (7/4) = 14/4 = 3 2/4 = 3 1/2 miles
To determine who runs farther and by how much, we need to calculate the total distance covered by each person.
First, let's calculate the total distance covered by Carrie:
Carrie runs 5 loops, and each loop is "mi. So, the total distance covered by her is:
5 loops * "mi each = 5 * "mi = 5 * mi
Next, let's calculate the total distance covered by Chris:
Chris runs 2 loops, and each loop is "mi. So, the total distance covered by him is:
2 loops * "mi each = 2 * "mi = 2 * mi
Now, we can compare the total distances covered by Carrie and Chris to determine who ran farther and by how much:
Carrie covers 5 * mi and Chris covers 2 * mi.
Since 5 is greater than 2, Carrie runs farther.
To find out by how much, we subtract the distance covered by Chris from the distance covered by Carrie:
Carrie's distance - Chris's distance = 5 * mi - 2 * mi = 3 * mi
Therefore, Carrie runs farther by 3 miles.
