Punnet covered `2_(th)/(4)` of his journey by car and `1_(th)/(4)` by bus.
How much more did he travel by car than by bus?

Answer

To solve the problem step by step, we need to find out how much more Puneet traveled by car than by bus.

### Step 1: Identify the distances traveled
- Distance covered by car = \( \frac{2}{4} \)
- Distance covered by bus = \( \frac{1}{4} \)

### Step 2: Set up the subtraction
To find out how much more he traveled by car than by bus, we need to subtract the distance covered by bus from the distance covered by car:
\[ \text{Distance more by car} = \text{Distance by car} - \text{Distance by bus} \]
This can be written as:
\[ \text{Distance more by car} = \frac{2}{4} - \frac{1}{4} \]

### Step 3: Perform the subtraction
Since both fractions have the same denominator (4), we can directly subtract the numerators:
\[ \frac{2}{4} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{2 - 1}{4} = \frac{1}{4} \]

### Step 4: Conclusion
Puneet traveled \( \frac{1}{4} \) more by car than by bus.
