Question

PLEASE HELP! The trail around Mirror Lake in Yosemite National park is 5 miles long. What fraction describes how much more of the trail Jon hiked than Andrea hiked? What fraction describes how much more of the trail Callie hiked than Jon hiked?

Andrea= 2/5

Jon= 1/2

Callie=4/5

Answer 1

• Jon - Andrea = 1/10
• Callie - Jon = 3/10

Explanation:

In terms of tenths, the distances each hiked are ...

• Andrea — 4/10
• Jon — 5/10
• Callie — 8/10

Then the differences of interest are ...

Jon - Andrea = 5/10 -4/10 = 1/10

Callie - Jon = 8/10 - 5/10 = 3/10

__

Jon hiked 1/10 of the trail more than Andrea.

Callie hiked 3/10 of the trail more than Jon.
