Dan ran six over five mile bob ran seven over eight mile how much father than Dan did bob ran?what was thier combined distance
6/5 - 7/8 = 48/40 - 35/40 = 13/40 mile
48/40 + 35/40 = 83/40 = 2 3/40 miles
Suppose you but a movie for 12.98 the sale tax is 6% find the total cost
To find out how much farther Bob ran than Dan, we need to subtract Dan's distance from Bob's distance.
Dan ran six over five mile, which can be written as 6/5 miles.
Bob ran seven over eight mile, which can be written as 7/8 miles.
To subtract the distances, we need to first find a common denominator. The common denominator for 5 and 8 is 40.
Now, we can convert both fractions to have a denominator of 40.
Dan's fraction: (6/5) * (8/8) = 48/40 miles.
Bob's fraction: (7/8) * (5/5) = 35/40 miles.
Now, subtract the distances:
Bob's distance - Dan's distance = 35/40 - 48/40 = -13/40 miles.
Since the result is negative, it means that Dan ran farther than Bob. The absolute value of -13/40 is 13/40 miles. So, Dan ran 13/40 miles farther than Bob.
To find the combined distance, we add Dan's distance to Bob's distance:
Dan's distance + Bob's distance = 48/40 + 35/40 = 83/40 miles.
Therefore, their combined distance is 83/40 miles.
