Question

may runs 10 / 4 miles every day after school. Beth says that she runs farther than may every day because she runs 5 / 2 miles every day after school. is her statement correct

Answer 1

They run the same amount. 5/2 is 10/4 simplified.

Answer 2

Beth's statement is not correct

Explanation:

We are given that,

Number of miles May runs every day =
`(10)/(4)`

Number of miles Beth runs every day =
`(5)/(2)`

Since, we know,

`(10)/(4)=(5)/(2)`

Thus, both May and Beth runs the same number of miles every day.

So, Beth's statement is not correct.
