Jordan and Erica both walk to school. 3/4 of the distance that
Jordan walks to school is the same distance as 2/3 of the

distance that Erica walks. Whose walk to school is longer?
The longer walk is how many times as long as the shorter walk?

Answer :

The person whose walk is longer is Erica.

Erica's walk is 8/9 times longer than Erica's walk.

Whose walks the longer distance?

In order to determine who walked the longer distance, we would convert the fractions to percentages.

3/4 becomes 75%

2/3 becomes 66.7%

Erica's percentage is smaller, thus, she walks a longer distance.

Jordan's walk is 8/9 times longer

(2/3 Ă·3/4) (2/3 x 4/3 = 8/9)
