Jim walks 6/7 of a mile every day. Russell walks 1/4 of a mile. How much farther does Jim work than Russell.

Jim walked 17/28 for miles than Russel

Step-by-step explanation:

First you turn 6/7 and 1/4 to have the same denominators. In that case you find the least common multiple which is 28.

7: 7, 14, 21, 28

4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28

Next you multiply the top and the bottom of your fraction my the factor you used to get 28 for your denominator

6/7 x 4/4 = 24/28

1/4 x 7/7 = 7/28

Lastly, you subtract the products you got.

24/28 - 7/28 = 17/28
