Question

Audrey and Addy also went hiking up Mount Olympus. Audrey's distance in June was 2.95 miles and for July 2 5/8 miles. Addy went 2.85 miles in June and 3 3/8 miles in July. How much farther did Addy hike than Audrey in both June and July? *Answer will be in decimal form

Answer 1

Answer:

Addy hiked 0.65 miles more than Audrey.

Step-by-step explanation:

In June we have the following distance traveled by Audrey (Au) and Addy (Ad):

$Au_{Jun} = 2.95 miles$

$Ad_{Jun} = 2.85 miles$

And, in July we have:

$Au_{Jul} = 2 + 5/8 miles = 21/8 miles = 2.625 miles$

$Ad_{Jul} = 3 + 3/8 miles = 27/8 miles = 3.375 miles$

Hence in June and July, they traveled:

$Au_{T} = Au_{Jun} + Au_{Jul} = 2.95 miles + 2.625 miles = 5.575 miles$

$Ad_{T} = Ad_{Jun} + Ad_{Jul} = 2.85 miles + 3.375 miles = 6.225 miles$

Now, we can find how much farther did Addy hike than Audrey in both June and July:    

$d = Ad_{T} - Au_{T} = 6.225 miles - 5.575 miles = 0.65 miles$

Therefore, Addy hiked 0.65 miles more than Audrey.

I hope it helps you!
