What is a difference in mathematics?

In mathematics, a "difference" refers to the result of subtracting one quantity from another. It is the measure of the gap or change between two values.

The word "difference" is fundamental to understanding changes or gaps between mathematical quantities.

We have that;

Thus;
`5(3)/(10)` -
`2(4)/(5)`

53/10 - 14/5

53 - 28/10

25/10

`2(5)/(10)` miles

Hence we can see that the difference here is
`2(5)/(10)` miles.

Missing parts;

a town park has 2 biking trails. Marsh Trail is 5 and three over ten miles long. Woodland trail is 2 and 4 over 5 miles long. How much longer is Marsh Trail than Woodland trail?
