Question

Mrquis ran 1/2 mile, Chad ran 7/8 mile, Jose ran 3/5 mile, and stephen ran 3/4 mile. Order them greatest to least

Answer 1

Answer: Chad, Stephen, Jose and Mrquis

Explanation:

We can change them to Percentage to make their ordering easier.

Mrquis ran 1/2 mile = 1/2 × 100 = 50%

Chad ran 7/8 mile = 7/8 × 100 = 87.5%

Jose ran 3/5 mile = 3/5 × 100 = 60%

Stephen ran 3/4 mile = 3/4 × 100 = 75%

Therefore, the ordering from the greatest to the least will be:

Chad, Stephen, Jose and Mrquis
