Respuesta :

Answer:

Yu ran farther by the end of the week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraction addition

[tex]\sf \text{Total distance ran by Holy= $1\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}+2\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{3}{4}+1\dfrac{1}{2}$}[/tex]

                   Convert mixed fractions to improper fractions

                                        [tex]\sf =\dfrac{3}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{9}{4}+\dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\ = \dfrac{3}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{3}{2}+\dfrac{9}{4}+\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{7}{2}+\dfrac{12}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{7*2}{2*2}+\dfrac{12}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{14}{4}+\dfrac{12}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{14+12}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{26}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{13}{2}\\\\=6\dfrac{1}{2} \ miles[/tex]

[tex]\sf \text{Distance travelled by Yu=1\dfrac{3}{4}+1\dfrac{1}{2}+2\dfrac{3}{4}+1\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{2}}[/tex][tex]\sf \text{Distance traveled by Yu= $1\dfrac{3}{4}+1\dfrac{1}{2}+2\dfrac{3}{4}+1\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{1}{2}$}[/tex]

                                      [tex]\sf = \dfrac{7}{4}+\dfrac{3}{2}+\dfrac{11}{4}+\dfrac{5}{4}+\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\ =\dfrac{(7+11+5)}{4}+\dfrac{3+1}{2}\\\\= \dfrac{23}{4}+\dfrac{4}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{23}{4}+\dfrac{4*2}{2*2}\\\\=\dfrac{23}{4}+\dfrac{8}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{31}{4}\\\\=7\dfrac{3}{4} \ miles[/tex]

Yu ran farther by the end of the week.
