First, we need to determine how much Aiden sprinted and jogged. We know he sprinted 4/5 of a lap and jogged 1/2 of a lap.

To find out how much farther he sprinted than jogged, we subtract the fraction that represents the distance he jogged from the fraction that represents the distance he sprinted.

So, we subtract 1/2 (the distance jogged) from 4/5 (the distance sprinted).

To subtract fractions, they must have the same denominator. The least common denominator between 2 and 5 is 10.

We convert 4/5 to 8/10 and 1/2 to 5/10.

Now we can subtract: 8/10 - 5/10 = 3/10.

So, Aiden sprinted 3/10 of a lap farther than he jogged.
