Answer 1

Required Data :

1 3/4, 2 1/2, 2, 2 3/4, 1, 1 3/4, 1 1/4, 3, 3 1/4, 3 3/4, 2, 2

Answer:

Julie is Incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

1 3/4, 2 1/2, 2, 2 3/4, 1, 1 3/4, 1 1/4, 3, 3 1/4, 3 3/4, 2, 2

Arrangement in ascending order :

1, 1 1/4, 1 3/4, 1 3/4, 2, 2, 2, 2 1/2, 2 3/4, 3, 3 1/4, 3 3/4.

The least amount of time spent is : 1

The most amount of time spent is : 3 3/4

From Julie's assertion, that the most amount of time spent is equal to 1 1/2 the least amount of time spent.

Most amount of time = 1 1/2 * least amount of time

3 3/4 = 1 * 1 1/2

15/4 = 3/2

However, 15/4 ≠ 3/2

Hence, Julie is incorrect
