Jenna walks 12 miles in 5 days. Alex walks 7 miles in 3 days. Who walks more miles per day?

Answer 1

Jenna walks 12/5 miles per day = 2.4 miles per day

Alex walks 7/3 per day = 2 1/3 or 2.333... miles per day

Jenna walks slightly more per day by 0.0666... miles per day

12/5> 7/3

cross multiply

36>35

put the two fractions over a common denominator

36/15 >35/15
