may runs 10 / 4 miles every day after school. Beth says that she runs farther than may every day because she runs 5 / 2 miles every day after school. is her statement correct

Verified Answer :

They run the same amount. 5/2 is 10/4 simplified.

Answer:

Beth's statement is not correct

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Number of miles May runs every day = \(\dfrac{10}{4}\)

Number of miles Beth runs every day = \(\dfrac{5}{2}\)

Since, we know,

\(\dfrac{10}{4}=\dfrac{5}{2}\)

Thus, both May and Beth runs the same number of miles every day.

So, Beth's statement is not correct.
