If I walked 7/8 mile and then jogged 4/9 mile, What is the total distance covered?
How much farther did I walk vs. jog?
Step 1: Find a Common Denominator : (1/8)(1/9) = 1/72
Step 2: use 72 as common denominator
Total Distance
=(7)(9)/72 + (4)(8)/72
= 63/72 + 32/72
= 0.875 miles +0.444 miles = 1.319
Walked = 63/72 = 0.875 miles
-Jogged = 32/72 = 0.444
0.431 miles : this is how much farther walked than jogged
If you walk 8/9 mile and then jog 1/7 mile what is the total distance covered how much farther did you walk then jog
