Rob and two of his friends are digging holes at Rob's house in order to plant some new trees. The holes need to be at least 3 feet deep. So far, Rob's hole is 14/5 feet, Sam's is 2.6 feet, and Tom's is 2 1/8 feet. Who is the closest to being finished?

Answer:

Rob is the closest to being finished.

Explanation:

Rob: 14/5 = 2.8 feet

Sam: 2.6 feet

Tom: 2 1/8 = 2.125 feet

2.125 < 2.6 < 2.8
