Pam walked 7/8 of a mile to school. paul walks 1/2 of a mile to schoo. how much farther does pam walks than paul

Pam walks 3/8 mile further than Paul.

Step-by-step explanation:

How much further means subtraction, but the two fraction have different denominator, so we have to change it so we have the same denominator.

7/8 - 1/2

1/2 = 4/8

7/8 - 4/8 = 3/8

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:
