2. Michelle and Nick take part in a sponsored ski. Michelle skis for 1(1)/(4) km and Nick skis for (6)/(7)km How much further does Michelle ski than Nick? 3. Cam and Jules are digging a hole for a pond. Cam digs 1(7)/(9)m^3 of soil and Jules digs 2(2)/(5)m^3 of soil. What volume of soil have they dug in total?

## Step1:Michelle's ski distance is presented as , while Nick's ski distance is presented as . To find out how much further Michelle ski than Nick, subtract Nick's distance from Michelle's.### Formula : \(Distance = Distance_{Michelle} - Distance_{Nick} \mult ) ## Step2: Before subtracting, we make sure both the fractional parts in both distances are in such a way that the fractional part of the distance of Malachi isn’t larger than the fractional part of distance of Booker. However, , which precedes subtraction, as the rule 'subtract fractions from fractions and whole numbers from whole numbers' holds. ## Step3: Subtract Nick's ski distance from Michelle's: \( 1 \frac{1}{4} - \frac{2}{3} = (?) \)## Step4:To figure out the total volume of soil that Cam and Jules have dug dign, adding each of their incomes can yield the answer.### Formula : ## Step5: Remember to add whole numbers to whole numbers and fractions to fractions. \( 1 \frac{7}{9} + 2 \frac{2}{5} = (?) \)
