Answer:
simmi, rahul, amar and aftab each walked from their houses to the park. simmi walked 1/2 mile, rahul walked 2/8 mile, amar walked 3/4 mile and aftab walked 5/8 mile. These distances arranged from the greatest to the least is Armar = 3/4 mile, Aftab = 5/8 mile, Simmi = 1/2 mile, Rahul = 2/8 mile
Step-by-step explanation:
To make this simple, get a common denominator for the fractions or convert them to percentages.
Let's start by working out a common denominator.
LCM of the denominators = 8
The new fractions are as follows:
Simmi = 4/8 mile
Rahul = 2/8 mile
Amar = 6/8 mile
Aftab = 5/8 mile
From here, we arrange them from the greatest to the least. the greatest fraction has the greatest numerator.
Arranging we have:
6/8, 5/8, 4/8, 2/8
Taking the actual distances we have:
Armar = 3/4 mile, Aftab = 5/8 mile, Simmi = 1/2 mile, Rahul = 2/8 mile
