Question

In a long jump competition, Wendy jumped 9/10 meters and Judy jumped 10/9 meters. Who has the shortest distance?
1) Wendy
2) Judy

Answer 1

Answer: Wendy

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare the distances jumped by Wendy and Judy, we need to compare the fractions 9/10 and 10/9.

To compare fractions, we can convert them to decimals.

9/10 = 0.9

10/9 ≈ 1.1111

Since 0.9 is less than 1.1111, Wendy has the shortest distance.

The answer is: Wendy
