Question

candice spent 3 4/5 hours, and shane spend 2 1/10 hours at track practice over the weekend. how many more hours did candice spend than shane at track practice?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the times spent

Candice spent $3\frac{4}{5}$ hours, Shane spent $2\frac{1}{10}$ hours.

Step2: Convert to improper fractions or find a common denominator

First, convert mixed numbers to improper fractions or find a common denominator. Let's find a common denominator for the fractions. The denominator of $\frac{4}{5}$ is 5, and for $\frac{1}{10}$ is 10. The common denominator is 10. So, $3\frac{4}{5}=3\frac{8}{10}$.

Step3: Subtract the times

Now subtract Shane's time from Candice's time: $3\frac{8}{10}-2\frac{1}{10}=(3 - 2)+(\frac{8}{10}-\frac{1}{10}) = 1+\frac{7}{10}=1\frac{7}{10}$.

Answer:

$1\frac{7}{10}$ hours
