Data for the question :

1 3/4, 2 1/2, 2, 2 3/4, 1, 1 3/4, 1 1/4, 3, 3 1/4, 3 3/4, 2, 2

Answer:

Julie is Incorrect

Explanation:

Given the data:

1 3/4, 2 1/2, 2, 2 3/4, 1, 1 3/4, 1 1/4, 3, 3 1/4, 3 3/4, 2, 2

The least amount of time spent is : 1

The most amount of time spent is 3 3/4

According to Julie ; the most amount of time spent is equal to 1 1/2 the least amount of time spent.

That is,

3 3/4 = 1 * 1 1/2

3 3/4 = 15/4

1 * 3/2 = 3/2

Hence, she is incorrect ;

15/4 ≠ 3/2
