In gym class, you run one mile. You finish in 8 9/10 minutes. Ina finishes in 8.45 minutes. Davis finishes in 8 1/3 minutes. Order the finishing times from shortest to longest time

Respuesta :

8 1/3 min, 8.45 min and, 8 9/10 min

t is given that You finish in [tex] 8\frac{9}{10} [/tex] minutes. Ina finishes in 8.45 minutes. Davis finishes in [tex] 8\frac{1}{3} [/tex] minutes.

The times converted to decimal values are

[tex] 8\frac{9}{10}=8+\frac{9}{10}=8+0.9=8.9\\
8\frac{1}{3}=8+\frac{1}{3}=8.3333 [/tex]

It can be seen that [tex] 8.3333<8.45<8.9 [/tex]. Hence the given compound fraction representing times in the ascending order is

[tex] 8\frac{1}{3} <8.45<8\frac{9}{10} [/tex].
