a. Who lives farther from the library? How much farther? show your work

plz help!?!

Answer 1

4/5 as an decimal is 0.80 So when you compare 0.80 to 0.72 which is 0.80 > 0.72 you can tell that

Adoncia lives further by 0.08

Answer 2

4/5 as an decimal is 0.80 because if you multiply 5 times twenty and 4 times twenty you get 80 or 0.80. So when you compare 0.80 to 0.72 you can tell that Adoncia lives further because 0.80 is greater than 0.72
