If you walk 5/ 8 mile and then jog 4/ 7 mile, what is the total distance covered? How much farther did you walk than jog? The total distance covered is nothing miles. (Simplify your answer. Type an integer, simplified fraction, or mixed number
5/8 = 35/56
4/7 = 32/56
Add the two fractions.
To find the total distance covered, we need to add the distances walked and jogged.
First, let's convert the fractions to have a common denominator. The least common multiple of 8 and 7 is 56, so we can rewrite 5/8 as 35/56 and 4/7 as 32/56.
Next, we add the distances: 35/56 + 32/56 = 67/56.
To simplify the answer, we divide the numerator by the denominator: 67 ÷ 56 = 1 and 11/56.
Therefore, the total distance covered is 1 and 11/56 miles.
To find out how much farther you walked than jogged, we subtract the distance jogged from the distance walked: 35/56 - 32/56 = 3/56.
So, you walked 3/56 miles farther than you jogged.
