Question

Jamal ran 2/3 mile. Ming ran 2/4 mile. Liana ran 7/12 of mile. Who ran the farthest? who ran the least?

Answer 1

Answer:

Jamal ran the farthest.

Ming ran the least.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to write the number of miles ran by each participant as decimal values, before finding who ran the most and the least.

Important to remember that a fraction is a division, so, for example, 2/3 is 2 divided by 3.

Jamal ran 2/3 mile.

2/3 = 0.667

So Jamal ran 0.667 miles

Ming ran 2/4 mile.

2/4 = 0.5

So Jamal ran 0.5 miles.

Liana ran 7/12 of mile

7/12 = 0.583

So Liana ran 0.583 miles

Who ran the farthest?

Jamal ran the highest amount of miles, so he ran the farthest.

Who ran the least?

Ming ran the least amount of miles, so he ran the least.
