Question

at a track meet,Jacob and daniel compete in 220 m hurdles. Daniels finishes in 3/4 of the a min.Jacob finishes with 5/12 of a min remaining.who ran the race in faster time?

Answer 1

Jacob has the faster time because if you make the fractions equal you would make the denominators equal by rounding 3/4 to have a denominator of 12 making it 9/12 which is larger then 5/12 making Daniel's time slower then Jacob's.
