Jason swam 3 1/2 miles then another 3 1/4 miles in one day on the same day Rachel swam two and 2/3 miles then another 4 1/2 miles how many more miles did Rachel swim then Jason?

Answer 1

Jason swam a total of 3 1/2 + 3 1/4 = 6 3/4 miles.
Rachel swam a total of 2 2/3 + 4 1/2 = 7 1/3 miles.

Rachel swam 7 1/3 - 6 3/4 = 7/3 - 27/4 = (28 - 81)/12 = -53/12 miles more than Jason.

Rachel swam 53/12 = 4 5/12 miles more than Jason.
