jeff jogged 5/6km while jon joghed 7/12km whi jogged longer?by how manu kilometer?
Get the LCD first and the LCD is 12
Solution
5/6 = 10/12
= 3/12 make it in lowest term = 1/4
7/12 =7/12
Answer
Jeff Jogged longer by jon by 1/4 longer kilometers
To determine who jogged longer and by how many kilometers, we need to compare the distances jogged by Jeff and Jon.
Jeff jogged 5/6 km, which can be simplified as 10/12 km (multiply the numerator and the denominator by 2).
Jon jogged 7/12 km.
To compare these distances, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 12.
Now, expressed in terms of the common denominator:
Jeff jogged 10/12 km
Jon jogged 7/12 km
Comparing the distances, we can see that Jeff jogged a greater distance than Jon.
To find out by how many kilometers Jeff jogged longer, we subtract Jon's distance from Jeff's distance:
(Jeff's distance) - (Jon's distance) = 10/12 km - 7/12 km = 3/12 km
Therefore, Jeff jogged longer by 3/12 km.
To simplify this fraction, both the numerator and denominator can be divided by 3:
(3/3)/(12/3) = 1/4 km
So, Jeff jogged longer by 1/4 km or 0.25 km.
