Answer 1

To determine who worked shortest distance, we have to convert all the distance in fraction to decimals

`\begin{gathered} \text{Brad covered 6}(1)/(4)\text{ miles } \\ 6(1)/(4)\text{ = 6 +}(1)/(4)=\text{ 6 + 0.25} \\ 6.25\text{ miles} \end{gathered}`

`\begin{gathered} \text{Denim coovered 6}(2)/(3)\text{ miles} \\ 6(2)/(3)=6\text{ +}(2)/(3)\text{ = 6 + 0.67} \\ \Rightarrow\text{ 6.67 miles} \\ \end{gathered}`

From the table, the shortest distance covered is 6.05 miles

And this distance was covered by Charles
