2. To rewrite  you have to multiply the numerator and denominator by three since the lcd is 12. So you're new fraction will be . For the second fraction, since the lcd is 12 you will multiply the numerator and denominator by 4. You're new fraction will be .

3. Since the problem contains the math keyword "Further", you automatically know you have to subtract, now subtract  - . First, start of by subtracting the numerators, so subtract 9-8=1 , remember the denominators will always stay the same.

In conclusion, you're answer will be , so Isabel lives  farther away from Janet.
