Question

Beth finished a race in 4.59 minutes. Ana finished the race in 0.7 minutes less than Beth. Fran finished the race in 1.05 minutes less than Ana.

How many minutes did it take Fran to finish the race?

Answer 1

2.84 minutes

Explanation:

Subtract the less time of Ana from the intial (Beth) then subtract the amount less of Fran

4.59 - 0.7 = 3.89 minutes

3.89-1.05 = 2.84 minutes

Answer 2

First you would wanna subtract 0.7 from 4.59 so you would get 4.59-0.7= 4.52. then you would wanna do 4.52-1.05= 3.47 for Fran
