To find out how much farther Anna jogged compared to Katie, we need to subtract the distance Katie jogged from the distance Anna jogged.

First, let's convert both distances to a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 20 and 5 is 20, so we can convert both fractions to have a denominator of 20.

For Anna:
17/20 of a mile = 17/20 * 1 mile = 17/20 * 20/20 = 340/400 mile

For Katie:
3/5 of a mile = 3/5 * 1 mile = 3/5 * 4/4 = 12/20 mile

Now we can subtract Katie's distance from Anna's distance:

340/400 mile - 12/20 mile = (340 - 12)/400 mile = 328/400 mile

To simplify the fraction, we can divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 4:
328/400 = (328/4)/(400/4) = 82/100 mile.

Therefore, Anna jogged 82/100 mile farther than Katie.
