Given:

Brown’s time for running a mile in gym class = 9.9 minutes

Ray’s time for running a mile in gym class = 9.47 minutes

Malcolm’s time for running a mile in gym class = 9.76 minutes

To find:

Who ran the mile in less time?

Solution:

It is given that the time taken by Brown, Ray and Malcolm to cover a mile are 9.9 minutes, 9.47 minutes and 9.76 minutes respectively.

9.47 < 9.76 < 9.9

Since, 9.47 minutes is the lowest time, therefore Ray can run a mile in less time.
