Question

After their car broke down the Lambert brothers had to walk to work. John walked .27 miles, Bill walked .6 miles, and Larry walked .2 miles. Who walked the furthest?
I am leaning toward John, but am iffy about whether or not it is a "trick" question.

Answer 1

.27=0.27, .6=0.6, .2=0.2

The biggest number of all three is 0.6, so the one who walked the furthest is Bill.

Answer 2

Bill walked the most. Put the decimals into percentages. .27 is 27%, .6 is 60%, and .2 is 20%, so Bill with 60% walked the furthest.
