Question

Beatrice threw a stone one and seven fourteenths yards. Tilly threw a stone nine fourteenths of a yard. What is a reasonable estimate of the difference between their two throws?

Answer 1

Answer:

The difference between the two throws is 6/7 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Beatrice throw=1 7/14 yards

Tilly throw=9/14 yards

Difference between the two throws=Beatrice throw - Tilly throw

=1 7/14 - 9/14

=21/14 - 9/14

= 21-9/14

=12/14

=6/7 yards

The difference between the two throws is 6/7 yards
