Answer 1

Dance Class and Soccer
if the fractions are part of an hour those two fractions hare more than .5 or half an hour reading and swimming would end up being 1/3 of an hour or 20 minutes.

Answer 2

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Activity Time spent

Dance class 6/5

Reading 4/12

Soccer 7/8

Swimming 2/6

The same table in fractions could be represented as:

Activity Time spent

Dance class 1.2

Reading 0.33

Soccer 0.87

Swimming 0.33

1/2 hour means 0.5 hour

1.2>0.5 and 0.87>0.5

Hence, Dance class and soccer took more than 1/2 an hour
