Solution

To find out how much farther Hugo sprinted than jogged, we need to subtract the distance he jogged from the distance he sprinted.

First, we know that Hugo sprinted 2/3 of a lap and jogged 7/15 of a lap.

So, we subtract 7/15 from 2/3:

2/3 - 7/15

To subtract these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common denominator of 3 and 15 is 15.

We convert 2/3 to 10/15 (by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 5).

So now we subtract 10/15 - 7/15 = 3/15

Therefore, Hugo sprinted 3/15 of a lap farther than he jogged.

This fraction can be simplified to 1/5. So, Hugo sprinted 1/5 of a lap farther than he jogged.
