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.
