Question

The table shows the distance 4 people swam. Who swam a greater distance than Milo? Name Distance Jule and Lorrie and 3 Lorrie miles Karrie Karrie 4 1 Milo miles 2 Julie and Lorrie only 3 Lorrie Jule miles 8 00 00|WN Karrie 5 miles

Answer 1

We need to first convert the frcations to its equivalent

$Lorrie\frac{3}{4}=\frac{3\times2}{4\times2}=\frac{6}{8}$$\text{Milo }\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1\times4}{2\times4}=\frac{4}{8}$$\text{Jule }\frac{3}{8}$$\text{Karrie }\frac{5}{8}$

Comparing the fractions, 5/8 and 6/8 is higher than 4/8

Hence, Lorrie and Karrie swam greater than milo
