I'll be glad to check your answer.
To determine who ran farther between Lily and Sara, we need to compare the distances they ran.
Given that Lily ran 2/3 of a mile and Sara ran 1/3 of a mile, we can compare their distances by finding a common denominator so that the fractions can be easily compared.
Let's find a common denominator for 3 in both fractions. In this case, the lowest common denominator is 3.
For Lily: 2/3 * 3/3 = 6/9
For Sara: 1/3 * 3/3 = 3/9
Now we can compare the distances:
Lily: 6/9 of a mile
Sara: 3/9 of a mile
Since 6/9 is greater than 3/9, Lily ran farther than Sara.
Therefore, Lily ran farther based on the comparison of their distances.
