Question

At last week's track meet, Stacy ran 9/12 of a km, Jules ran 4/5 of a km, and Raul ran 3/4 of a mile. Which two students ran the same distance?

Answer 1

Answer: No two students ran same distance

Explanation:

Given

Stacy ran
`(9)/(12)` of a km i.e.

`\Rightarrow 1* (9)/(12)=(3)/(4)=0.75\ km`

Jules ran
`(4)/(5)` of a km i.e.

`\Rightarrow 1* (4)/(5)=0.8\ km`

Raul ran
`(3)/(4)` of mile i.e.

`\Rightarrow 1* (3)/(4)=0.75\ miles\\\\\text{1 mile=1.6 km}\\\\\Rightarrow 0.75\ miles=1.2\ km`

So, no two students ran the same distance.
