Given
John rode 4 kilometers on his bike.
His sister Sally rode 3400 meters on her bike.
To find:
Who rode the farthest and how much farther did they ride (in km)?
Explanation:
It is given that,
John rode 4 kilometers on his bike.
His sister Sally rode 3400 meters on her bike.
That implies,
[tex]\begin{gathered} Distance\text{ }covered\text{ }by\text{ }John=4km \\ Distance\text{ }covered\text{ }by\text{ }Sally=3400m \\ =3000+400 \\ =\frac{3000}{1000}+\frac{400}{1000} \\ =3km+0.4km \\ =3.4km \end{gathered}[/tex]Since 4km is greater than 3.4km.
Then,
John rode the farthest and,
[tex]\begin{gathered} Distance\text{ }he\text{ }rode\text{ }farther=4km-3.4km \\ =0.6km \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, he rode 0.6km farther than Sally.
