Jordan ran \( \frac{7}{8} \) mile on Monday and \( \frac{1}{4} \) mile on Tuesday. How much farther did Jordan run on Monday than on Tuesday? Enter your answer as a fraction in simplest form by filling in the boxes \( \square \) mile

To find out how much farther Jordan ran on Monday than on Tuesday, we need to subtract the distance he ran on Tuesday from the distance he ran on Monday. On Monday, Jordan ran \( \frac{7}{8} \) mile and on Tuesday, he ran \( \frac{1}{4} \) mile. First, we can express \( \frac{1}{4} \) in terms of eighths to make the subtraction easier. Convert \( \frac{1}{4} \) to eighths: \[ \frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{8} \] Now, subtract the distances: \[ \frac{7}{8} - \frac{2}{8} = \frac{5}{8} \] Thus, Jordan ran \( \frac{5}{8} \) mile farther on Monday than on Tuesday. So the answer is: \( \frac{5}{8} \) mile
