Edwards walked 3/4 mile from his home to the park .then he walked 2/4 mile from the park to the

Library.which of the two distances is greater?

When comparing fractions, if the denominators are the same.. the larger numerator gives you the larger fraction.

To determine which of the two distances is greater, we need to compare the fractions representing the distances. In this case, the distances are 3/4 mile and 2/4 mile.

To make a proper comparison, we need to have a common denominator. The least common denominator (LCD) for 4 and 4 is 4.

Now, let's convert both fractions to have a denominator of 4.

For the first distance, 3/4 mile, we don't need to do anything as it already has a denominator of 4.

For the second distance, 2/4 mile, we don't need to change the numerator, but we need to multiply the denominator by 2, so the fraction becomes 2/8.

Now we can compare the fractions:

3/4 mile vs. 2/8 mile

To compare fractions with the same denominator, we only need to compare their numerators.

In this case, 3 is greater than 2.

Therefore, the distance of 3/4 mile is greater than the distance of 2/4 mile.
