Answer:

Shona

Step-by-step explanation:

Both fractions have different denominators. To get a better picture of who ran further, let's have both fractions have the same denominator.

Let's convert the smaller denominator to the bigger one.

In order to do this, we will multiply top and bottom by 3:

\frac{3}{4} *\frac{3}{3} \\\frac{9}{12}

Now, we compare the two fractions by seeing which numerator is closer to denominator.

From this comparison, the converted fraction, \frac{9}{12} is closer to 12.

Therefore, Shona ran further.

3 Fred is making a fruit salad. The ratio
marusya05 [52]

Answer: 24 cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "x" the amount of cups of peaches  that Fred will need to make 60 cups of  fruit salad.

According to the information given in the exercise, you know that the ratio of cups of peaches to cups of cherries is the one shown below:

2:3

Which can also be written as a fraction:

\frac{2}{3}

Then, if he uses 2 cups of peaches and 3 cups of cherries, he will get 5 cups of fruit salad.

Knowing the above, you can set up the following proportion:

\frac{2}{5}=\frac{x}{60}

Now you must solve for "x" in order to find its value. This is:

(60)(\frac{2}{5})=x\\\\x=24
