Answer 1

8 1/3 min, 8.45 min and, 8 9/10 min

Answer 2

t is given that You finish in $8\frac{9}{10}$ minutes. Ina finishes in 8.45 minutes. Davis finishes in $8\frac{1}{3}$ minutes.

The times converted to decimal values are

$8\frac{9}{10}=8+\frac{9}{10}=8+0.9=8.9\\ 8\frac{1}{3}=8+\frac{1}{3}=8.3333$

It can be seen that $8.3333$. Hence the given compound fraction representing times in the ascending order is

$8\frac{1}{3}$.
