Question

3) Leo hiked 6/7 of a kilometer. Jericho hiked 2/3 kilometer. Who covered a
longer distance? How much longer?
​

Answer 1

Answer: Leo covered a longer distance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Leo: 6/7 of a kilometer is 0.857 km

Jericho: 2/3 of a kilometer is 0.666 km

Answer 2

Leo covered a longer distance of 190.4 m.

Given - Fraction

Find - Longer distance

Solution - As per the known fact, 1 km = 1000 m.

So, distance covered by Leo = $\frac{6}{7} \times 1000$

Distance covered by Leo = 857.1 m

Distance covered by Jericho = $\frac{2}{3} \times 1000$

Distance covered by Jericho = 666.7 m

So, Leo covered a long distance.

Difference = 857.1 - 666.7

Difference = 190.4 m

Hence, Leo covered a longer distance of 190.4 m.
