Answer:

Natasha ran farther

Explanation:

This is the answer because:

1) In problems like this, we have to find the common denominator and compare both of the fractions:


(4)/(10) = (4 times10)/(10 times 10) = (40)/(100)


(40)/(100) >
(25)/(100) = 40/100 is greater than 25/100.

Therefore, the answer is Natasha.

Hope this helps! :D
