May runs 10/4 miles every day after school. Beth says that she runs father than May every day because she runs 5/2 miles every day after school. Is her statement correct?

No. they both run the same distance.

No. In fact May and Beth run the exact same distance. A way to check this is looking at whether or not you can multiply or divide both the numerator (the top number) and the denominator by the same number to get whole numbers.

Ex.

5/2 (5 * 2 = 10).

(2 * 2 = 4)

5/2=10/4
