Question

For four weeks in June Cameron baked 3 1/4 miles each week and swim 2 1/2 miles each week for three weeks in July he baked 4 3/4 miles each week and swim 3 1/2 miles each week how much greater was the total distance Cameron bike and swim in July compared to the total distance he bike in swim in June

Answer 1

For June:
Bike:
(4) * (3 1/4) = 13 miles
Swim:
(4) * (2 1/2) = 10 miles
Total:
13 + 10 = 23 miles
For July:
Bike:
(3) * (4 3/4) = 14.25 miles
Swim:
(3) * (3 1/2) = 10.5 miles
Total:
14.25 + 10.5 = 24.75 miles
The difference between both months is:
24.75 - 23 = 1.75 miles
Answer:
the total distance Cameron bike and swim in July compared to the total distance he bike in swim in June was 1.75 miles greater
