Harry rides his bike
25
3
8
miles. Karen rides her bike
25
2
5
miles. Who rides farther?
simple.
just subtract 25 2/5 from 25 3/8
First, find the least common multiple of 8 and 5.
8x5=40, so the least common multiple is 40.
Multiply 3 and 8 by 5.
3x5=15
8x5=40
This makes the fraction 15/40
Multiply 2 and 5 by 8.
2x8=16
5x8=40
This makes the fraction 16/40
Now, compare 16/40 and 15/40
16/40>15/40, so 25 and 3/8 < 25 and 2/5
Hope this helps
which is greater, 3/8 or 2/5 ?
use a common denominator

@Poncho did you get a 100% by doing it this way?
To compare the distances that Harry and Karen ride on their bikes, we need to find the total distance each of them rode.
To find the total distance Harry rode, we need to add up the distances:
Harry rode 25 + 3 + 8 = 36 miles.
To find the total distance Karen rode, we also need to add up the distances:
Karen rode 25 + 2 + 5 = 32 miles.
Now, to determine who rode farther, we check which total distance is greater:
Harry rode 36 miles, while Karen rode 32 miles.
Therefore, Harry rode farther than Karen.
