The beetle crawled 5/12 of a yard more than the spider

Answer:

Beetle crawled [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex] yard farther than the spider

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The distance crawled by beetle = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] yard,

And, the distance crawled by spider = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] yard,

∵ [tex]\frac{3}{4} > \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Thus, beetle crawled more,

Also,

[tex]\frac{3}{4}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{9-4}{12}=\frac{5}{12}[/tex]

Hence, beetle crawled [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex] yard farther than the spider
