Answer:

Jennifer jogged the most, by 18 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Alan:

[tex]To\ School = 3.2\ miles[/tex]

[tex]After\ School = 2.2\ miles[/tex]

[tex]Days = 5[/tex]

Jennifer:

[tex]Total= 45\ miles[/tex]

Required

Who jogged most?

First, we calculate the distance covered by Alan daily

[tex]Daily = To\ School + After\ School[/tex]

[tex]Daily = 3.2\ miles + 2.2\ miles[/tex]

[tex]Daily = 5.4\ miles[/tex]

Next, we calculate the distance covered in 5 days

[tex]Distance = 5.4\ miles * 5[/tex]

[tex]Distance = 27\ miles[/tex]

By comparison, Jennifer jogged the most because 45 > 27

And the difference is:

[tex]Difference = 45\ miles - 27\ miles[/tex]

[tex]Difference = 18\ miles.[/tex]
