on friday catlin ran 1 and 1/5 miles on sunday she ran 1 and2/5 miles.On the same two days her friend lee ran a total of 3 miles.How much father than catlin did lee ran?
1 1/5 + 1 2/5 = ?
Subtract that answer from 3.
3 1/5
To find out how much farther Lee ran than Caitlin, we need to calculate the difference between the total distance Lee ran and the total distance Caitlin ran.
First, let's calculate the total distance Caitlin ran. On Friday, she ran 1 and 1/5 miles. On Sunday, she ran 1 and 2/5 miles. To find the total distance, we add these two distances together:
1 and 1/5 + 1 and 2/5
To add these mixed numbers, we need to convert them to improper fractions:
1 and 1/5 = 6/5
1 and 2/5 = 7/5
Now we can add the fractions:
6/5 + 7/5 = 13/5
Next, we need to convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number:
13/5 = 2 and 3/5
So Caitlin ran a total of 2 and 3/5 miles.
Now, let's calculate how much farther Lee ran. We know that the total distance Lee ran is 3 miles. To find how much farther Lee ran, we need to subtract the total distance Caitlin ran from the total distance Lee ran:
3 - (2 and 3/5)
To subtract mixed numbers, we first convert them to improper fractions:
2 and 3/5 = 13/5
Now, subtract the fractions:
3 - 13/5
To subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 5:
3 = 15/5
Now we can subtract the fractions:
15/5 - 13/5 = 2/5
So Lee ran 2/5 miles farther than Caitlin.
