ooooooooooooooo Ms. Sue really got you
To find the difference in length between the two bike rides, subtract the length of the shorter ride from the length of the longer ride:
6 1/4 - 5 1/2
To subtract these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The common denominator of 4 and 2 is 4, so we can rewrite the fractions:
6 1/4 = 6 * 4/4 + 1/4 = 24/4 + 1/4 = 25/4
5 1/2 = 5 * 2/2 + 1/2 = 10/2 + 1/2 = 11/2
Now we can subtract:
25/4 - 11/2
To subtract fractions with different denominators, we need to find a common denominator, which is 4 in this case:
25/4 - (11/2 * 2/2) = 25/4 - 22/4
Now we can subtract the fractions:
25/4 - 22/4 = 3/4
Therefore, the difference in length between the two bike rides is 3/4 of the longer ride.
To find the difference in length between the two rides, we need to subtract the shorter ride distance from the longer ride distance.
Longer ride distance: 6 1/4 miles
Shorter ride distance: 5 1/2 miles
To subtract these two fractions, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, we can use 4 as the common denominator.
6 1/4 = 6 * 4/4 + 1/4 = 24/4 + 1/4 = 25/4
Now, we can subtract the shorter ride distance:
25/4 - 5 1/2
To subtract mixed numbers, we need to convert the mixed number to an improper fraction. We multiply the whole number by the denominator, add the numerator, and keep the denominator the same.
5 1/2 = 5 * 2/2 + 1/2 = 10/2 + 1/2 = 11/2
Now, we can perform the subtraction:
25/4 - 11/2
To subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator. In this case, we can use 4 as the common denominator.
25/4 - 11/2 = 25/4 - (11/2 * 2/2) = 25/4 - 22/4 = 3/4
Therefore, the difference in length between the two rides is 3/4 of the longer ride (6 1/4 miles).
