Answer: The answer is The Boys feet. Explanation below.

Explanation:

So first off, you can clearly see that the. Denominators are the same, so you do not have to do anything to change the denominator.


Then you want to look at the numerator. Which numerator is greater, 4 or 2?

Realizing 4 is greater than 2, you have the answer of 4/5 is greater than 2/5. And 2/5 is less than 4/5. So in conclusion, the girls feet are farther and the boys feet are farthest.
