Rafael walked mile 2/3 mile and then rode his scooter 5/6 mile. Look at the models to compare the distances. Which distance is farther?

2/3 = 4/6

5/6

To compare the distances, we need to convert both fractions to have a common denominator. The common denominator for 2/3 and 5/6 is 6.

To convert 2/3 to a fraction with a denominator of 6, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 2:
2/3 * 2/2 = 4/6

To convert 5/6 to a fraction with a denominator of 6, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 1:
5/6 * 1/1 = 5/6

Now, let's compare the distances.

Rafael walked 4/6 mile, and he rode his scooter 5/6 mile.

Comparing the two distances, we can see that 5/6 mile is greater than 4/6 mile.

So, the distance Rafael rode on his scooter (5/6 mile) is farther than the distance he walked (4/6 mile).
