Answer:

Jose stretched the taffy the farthest and Maria stretched it the least

Explanation:

Distance stretched by George = 3 feet

Distance stretched by Jose is
1(1)/(3) times as much as George so


3* 1(1)/(3)=3*(4)/(3)=4\ \text{feet}

Distance stretched by Jose is
4\ \text{feet}

Maria streched the taffy
(2)/(3) times as George


3* (2)/(3)=2\ \text{feet}

Maria stretched the taffy by
2\ \text{feet}

Sally stretched it
(6)/(6) so
1\ \text{feet}

So, Jose stretched the taffy the farthest and Maria stretched it the least.
