Q. Gabrielle watched a beetle and a spider on the sidewalk. The beetle crawled 712\frac{7}{12} of a yard and the spider crawled 13\frac{1}{3} of a yard. How much farther did the beetle crawl than the spider?\newlineWrite your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.\newline____\_\_\_\_ yards
  1. Calculate Beetle's Distance: Calculate the distance crawled by the beetle. 712\frac{7}{12} yard
  2. Calculate Spider's Distance: Calculate the distance crawled by the spider.\newline13\frac{1}{3} yard
  3. Convert Spider's Distance: Convert 13\frac{1}{3} to a fraction with a denominator of 1212 for easy subtraction.\newline13=412\frac{1}{3} = \frac{4}{12}
  4. Subtract Distances: Subtract the distance crawled by the spider from the distance crawled by the beetle. 712−412=312\frac{7}{12} - \frac{4}{12} = \frac{3}{12}
  5. Simplify Result: Simplify the result.\newline312=14\frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4}
