Three people are kayaking. They all started at the same point and rowed in the same direction for 20 minutes.
Laura rowed 7/8 mile
Daniel rowed 1/2 mile
Annabelle rowed 1/4 mile
Part A:
Did Laura row a distance greater than, less than, or equal to the combined distance of Daniel and Annabelle?

Greater than

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to compare the distances rowed, we need to come up with a common denominator. Our least common denominator is 8 because 2 and 4 are both divisors of 8.

Laura rowed 7/8 mile

Daniel rowed 4/8 mile ()

Annabelle rowed 2/8 mile ()

Daniel and Annabelle rowed a combined 6/8 mile (). 7/8 is greater than 6/8. Laura rowed a distance greater than the combined distance of Daniel and Annabelle.

the answer will be the last one

in problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. to find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.
