It took Mary Lou 5/6 hour to write a report for English class. It took Heather 9/10 as much time to write her report as it took Mary Lou. Who took longer?

Respuesta :

So, Mary Lou took[tex] \frac{5}{6} [/tex] of an hour, that is [tex] \frac{5}{6}*60 mins=50 mins [/tex]

Heather took [tex] \frac{9}{10} [/tex] as much time as Mary Lou, so she took [tex] \frac{9}{10} [/tex] of 50 minutes, that is [tex] \frac{9}{10}*50=45 [/tex]

45 minutes is less than 50, so Heather was faster and Mary Lou was slower and took longer!

the one who took longer in this question is mary lou
