To find out how much longer Kemari's walk is, we need to subtract Kayla's walk from Kemari's walk.
Kemari's walk = 1/3 mile
Kayla's walk = 1/4 mile
Difference = Kemari's walk - Kayla's walk
Difference = 1/3 - 1/4
To subtract fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The common denominator of 3 and 4 is 12.
1/3 = 4/12
1/4 = 3/12
Difference = 4/12 - 3/12
Difference = 1/12
Therefore, Kemari's walk is 1/12 miles longer than Kayla's walk.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
a) 1/12 miles
Kemari walks 1/3 of a mile to the park. Kayla walks 1/4 of a mile to the park. How much longer is Kemari's walk?
