Dan ran 5/6 mile. Bob ran 7/8 mile.How much farther did Dan did Bob run?
7/8 - 5/6 = 21/24 - 20/24 = 1/24 mile
To determine how much farther Dan ran than Bob, we first need to find the difference between their distances.
First, we need to find a common denominator for 6 and 8, which is 24.
Next, we convert the fractions:
Dan ran (5/6) * (4/4) = 20/24 mile
Bob ran (7/8) * (3/3) = 21/24 mile
Now, we can subtract the distances:
(21/24) - (20/24) = 1/24
So, Dan ran 1/24 mile less than Bob.
