Question

Rosa completed her chemistry lab in 35.7 minutes. Dale completed the same lab in 36.5 minutes. Who completed their lab first, Rosa or Dale? A Rosa B Dale ​

Answer 1

Rosa would have finished first

Explanation:

If Rosa finished her chemistry lab in 35.7 minutes and Dale in 36.5 it doesn't matter about the decimal 35 comes before 36 therefore Rosa finished first.

Answer 2

A. Rosa

Explanation:

Since both measurements of time are using the same units, minutes, we can simply compare them and decide which one is the smallest number. The smallest number represents who took the least amount of time and therefore shows who completed their lab first.

35.7 _ 36.5

35.7 < 36.5

Rosa with 35.7 minutes, completed her lab first.
