Clint and jason are meeting at the park. clint is 5\8 mile away, and jaaon is 9\10 mile away. if the boys ride their bicycles at the same speed, who will reach the park first?

Jason will reach the park first. To get to your answer, you need to make both fractions have a common denominator. Since 8 times 5 and 10 times 4 both equal to 40, the common denominator will be 40. Then all you need to do is take the fractions 9/10 and 5/8 and turn the denominator to 40. Once that is done, you need to change the numerators.You will then see that Jason rode 36/40 and Clint only rode 25/40. 36 > 25, so Jason will reach the park first.   

Hmm confusing don't understand
