Elise ran 9/10 of a mile and walked 1/2 of a mile. How much farther did Elise run than walk?

Answer 1

9 / 10 - 1 / 2

9 / 10 - 5 / 10

4 / 10

2 / 5

Answer 2

elise ran the distance = 9/10 miles

walked the distance = 1/2

how much is running distance more than walked distance = difference bet run and walk

=( 9/10) - (1/2) lcm of 10,2 = 10

= (9 -5) / 10 = 4 / 10 = 2/5

so 2/5 miles distance more elise ran than walked.
