Answer 2

Distance at which David stays - 1 km
Distance at which Paul stays - 5÷6
How much closer to town does Paul live than David - (1 - 5÷6)
Therefore,
1 - 5÷6
( equalising the denominators)
(1÷1 - 5÷6)
( 1×6 ÷1×6 - 5÷6)
6÷6 - 5÷6
6 - 5= 1
Therefore,
Ans - 1÷6
Paul lives 1÷6 km closer to the town than David.
