Question

1. razonamiento de orden superior nicole, tasha, maría y joan caminan de su casa a la escuela. nicole camina $1\frac{11}{12}$ millas. tasha camina $2\frac{1}{12}$ millas. maría camina $1\frac{7}{12}$ millas. joan camina $2\frac{2}{12}$ millas. ¿cómo puedes hallar cuánto más que maría camina joan para llegar a la escuela?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the distances

Joan's distance: $2\frac{2}{12}$ miles, María's distance: $1\frac{7}{12}$ miles.

Step2: Subtract the distances

To find how much more Joan walks, subtract María's distance from Joan's: $2\frac{2}{12}-1\frac{7}{12}$.
Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions: $2\frac{2}{12}=\frac{2\times12 + 2}{12}=\frac{26}{12}$, $1\frac{7}{12}=\frac{1\times12+7}{12}=\frac{19}{12}$.
Subtract: $\frac{26}{12}-\frac{19}{12}=\frac{26 - 19}{12}=\frac{7}{12}$.
Or, subtract the whole numbers and fractions separately: $(2 - 1)+(\frac{2}{12}-\frac{7}{12}) = 1-\frac{5}{12}=\frac{12 - 5}{12}=\frac{7}{12}$ (after borrowing 1 from the whole number as $\frac{12}{12}$).

Answer:

Joan walks $\frac{7}{12}$ miles more than María.
