Please, check the values of the problem
Answer. Shelly by 11/8 miles
Solution
Shelly ran 21/4 miles
Lynne ran 31/8 miles
To compare the two fractions we must have the same denominator. Multiplying the miles that shelly ran by 2/2:
Shelly: (21/4) * (2/2)=(21*2) / (4*2)=42/8 miles
Now we can compare:
42/8 miles (Shelly) > 31/8 miles (Lynne), then Shelly ran farther.
By how much?:
42/8-31/8=(42-31)/8=11/8 miles
