8/15

when you divide it it comes out to be 0.533 repeating

but when you divide 17/40 it comes out to be 0.425

so .5 is larger then .4

It's easier to figure it out when both fractions have the same denominator, so let's fix that:

17/40*15/15 is 255/600

8/15*40/40 is 320/600

Notice we are multiplying by a factor of 1 to get equivalent fractions

So 8/15 is bigger

Hope this helped!

Let's calculate Charlie swimming distance. Assume Charlie swimming distance is D.
D^2 = 400^2 + 100^2 => D = 412 meters

Assume d is Carter's distance.
d^2 = 400^2 + 150^2 => d = 427 meters

Carter swims more than Charlie by:
d - D = 427 - 412 = 15 meters
