Explanation:

Given data:

You = 3/4

Andrea = 1/2

Bart = 4/5

Camden = 7/8

Drake = 3/7

Ethan = 2/3

1. Drake would not be getting into the gate first because he is far behind at 3/7.

2. each fraction represents how far each have travelled Or moved on the line. Just like how you have move 3/4 on the line which represents three quarter of the line, and Andrea has moved half way through the line at 1/2.

3. Camden 7/8 would get to the get first and Drake 3/7 would get in last.
