Answer:

John ran the most. option (a) is true.

Explanation:

We need to compare the distances run by each person to determine who ran the most.

Here's how we can do it:

Express all the distances in the same unit:

Convert all distances to miles by multiplying each by 10^1:

Michael: 3.4 x 10^1 miles = 3.4 miles

Antwan: 3.1 x 10^1 miles = 3.1 miles

John: 3.6 x 10^1 miles = 3.6 miles

Compare the distances:

John ran 3.6 miles, which is more than Michael's 3.4 miles and Antwan's 3.1 miles.

Therefore, John ran the most.

Thus, option (a) is true.
