Tom Jogged 3fifths mile on Monday and 2sixths on Tuesday.how much farther did Tom jog on Monday
To find out how much farther Tom jogged on Monday compared to Tuesday, you need to subtract the distance Tom jogged on Tuesday from the distance he jogged on Monday.
Tom jogged 3/5 mile on Monday and 2/6 mile on Tuesday.
To make the fractions have a common denominator, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of 5 and 6, which is 30.
Now, let's convert the fractions to have a denominator of 30.
To convert 3/5 to have a denominator of 30, you multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 6: (3/5) * (6/6) = 18/30.
To convert 2/6 to have a denominator of 30, you multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 5: (2/6) * (5/5) = 10/30.
Now that the fractions have the same denominator, you can subtract them to find the difference:
18/30 - 10/30 = (18 - 10)/30 = 8/30.
Therefore, Tom jogged 8/30 mile farther on Monday compared to Tuesday.
To compare the distances jogged, we need to find a common denominator for 3/5 and 2/6. The least common multiple of 5 and 6 is 30.
To convert 3/5 to thirtieths, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 6:
(3/5) * (6/6) = 18/30
To convert 2/6 to thirtieths, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 5:
(2/6) * (5/5) = 10/30
Therefore, Tom jogged 18/30 mile on Monday and 10/30 mile on Tuesday.
To find how much farther Tom jogged on Monday, we subtract the distance jogged on Tuesday from the distance jogged on Monday:
(18/30) - (10/30) = 8/30
Tom jogged 8/30 mile farther on Monday.
