To solve, we need to subtract from these two fractions. In order to do this, we will change one of them to have the same denominator as the other.

We have 5/14 and 1/7
Let us change 1/7

Multiply 2/2 (a form of 1 so it does not change the value of the fraction)

2/2 • 1/7 = 2/14

Now subtract from 5/14
5/14 - 2/14 = 3/14

ANSWER: Vicky ran 3/14 of a mile more
