Question

Jack takes $\frac{3}{5}$ of an hour and Jill takes $\frac{2}{3}$ of an hour to go up a hill.
So, takes longer time to go up the hill.

• A. Jack
• B. Jill
• C. Both take same time
• D. Can't be determined

Answer 1

The correct option is B Jill

Jack takes $\frac{3}{5}$ of an hour and Jill takes $\frac{2}{3}$ of an hour to go up a hill.

Visualizing through the fraction bar, we get:

We know fractions with same numerator but having a lower denominator will have a larger value.

So, $(\frac{3}{5}=\frac{6}{10})<(\frac{2}{3}=\frac{6}{9})$

∴ Jill takes longer time to go up the hill.
