Answer:
3/10 mile
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance from Felicia's home to school is 1 1/5 of a mile
This can be expressed as an improper expression:
1 1/5 = (1 x 5 + 1)/5 = 6/5 mile
The distance from Felicia's home to soccer field is 9/10 of a mile
The positive difference between these two measures will give you how much closer she is to the field
Distance difference = 6/5 - 91/0
= 12/10 - 9/10 (multiply numerator and denominator of first term by 2)
= 3/10 (since denominator is same, subtract the numerator use 10 as denominator)
Answer 3/10 of a mile
