Question

Joaquin walked exactly 3 _ 4 of a mile. According to the line plot, what is the difference between the distance Joaquin walked and the least distance any of the other students walked to school?

Answer 1

The difference is
`(3)/(8)` mile

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, as the line plot is not attached.

I will answer this question with the attached line plot.

From the question:

`Joaquin = (3)/(4)`

From the attached line plot:

`Least = (3)/(8)`

The difference (D) is:

`D = Joaquin - Least`

`D = (3)/(4) - (3)/(8)`

Take LCM

`D = (6 - 3)/(8)`

`D = (3)/(8)`

Hence: The difference is
`(3)/(8)` mile
