Question 175381
2(1/4)=2/4=1/2
3(1/8)=3/8
:
now in order to compare these we need to make their denominators equal..meaning we need a LCD      since 2(4) =8 that is our LCD....so multiply both top and bottom of 1/2 by 4 and you get 4/8. now lets compare
:
4/8 is obviously bigger than 3/8.
:
therefore sheely ran further and she ran further by 1/8 of a mile{{{4/8-3/8=1/8}}}
