Answer:

  1. 7/8 miles
  2. 63/40 or 1 23/40

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. 1/4 = 2/8

5/8 + 2/8 = 7/8

    2. 2 1/5 = 11/5

11/5 = 88/40

5/8 = 25/40

88/40 - 25/40 = 63/40

For this case we have to, if Sam ran [tex]\frac {1} {4}[/tex]of a mile more than Jose, then, before stopping he ran:

[tex]\frac {5} {8} + \frac {1} {4} = \frac {20 + 8} {32} = \frac {28} {32} = \frac {14} {16} = \frac { 7} {8}[/tex]

I ran [tex]\frac {7} {8}[/tex]miles before stopping.

Now, Jose after resting ran ([tex]2 \frac {1} {5} = \frac {10 + 1} {5} = \frac {11} {5}[/tex]):

[tex]\frac {11} {5} - \frac {5} {8} = \frac {88-25} {40} = \frac {63} {40}[/tex]

Jose ran [tex]\frac {63} {40}[/tex]miles

ANswer:

[tex]\frac {7} {8}\\\frac {63} {40}[/tex]
