May runs 10/4 miles everyday .Beth runs 5/2 miles everyda.who runs further?

Sagot :

Answer:  They run the same distance

Explanation:

The fraction 5/2 turns into 10/4 when you multiply top and bottom by 2

5*2 = 10

2*2 = 4

Or you could use long division or a calculator to notice that

5/2 = 2.5

10/4 = 2.5

Both result in the same exact decimal value, so the fractions must be equal. Each person runs exactly 2.5 miles everyday.
