Question

The table shows the amount of time four students practiced the trumpet one day.

Answer 1

let's convert mixed numbers to fractions for ease:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Cole}=1\cdot(2)/(3)=(5)/(3)=1.667 \\ \text{Gus}=1\cdot(1)/(2)=(3)/(2)=1.5 \\ \text{Ryan}=1\cdot(1)/(4)=(5)/(4)=1.25 \\ \text{Jacob}=1\cdot(7)/(12)=(19)/(12)=1.583 \end{gathered}`

As you can see:

1.25<1.5<1.583<1.667

Ryan < Gus < Jacob < Cole
