Lee ran a mile in 7 1/3 minutes. His friend Sam ran the same mile in 8 5/9 minutes. How many minutes faster did Lee run? (First answer will be the brainliest)

Respuesta :

Answer:

1 2/9 minutes faster

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the larger number and subtract the smaller number

8 5/9 minutes - 7 1/3 minutes

Get a common denominator

8 5/9 - 7 1/3 *3/3

8 5/9 - 7 3/9

1 2/9 minutes faster
