Question

At a track meet jacob and daniel complete in the 220 m hurdals.daniel finishis in3/4 of a minute jacod finishes in 5/12 of a minute who ran the race in the fastest time

Answer 1

You have to find the common denominator so the 4 in 3/4 will change to 12 and the 3 would change to a 9 so now it is 3/12 vs 5/12 so it shows that Jacob finishes first

Answer 2

3/4=9/12
Therefore Jacob finishes faster
