To compare the times Mia, Rena, and Vivian took to swim, we can convert their times into a consistent format, such as seconds.
-
Mia: 13.845 minutes
- \( 13.845 \times 60 = 830.7 \) seconds
-
Rena: 13.84 minutes
- \( 13.84 \times 60 = 830.4 \) seconds
-
Vivian: 13.804 minutes
- \( 13.804 \times 60 = 828.24 \) seconds
Now, let's compare their times in seconds:
- Mia: 830.7 seconds
- Rena: 830.4 seconds
- Vivian: 828.24 seconds
From this comparison, we can conclude:
- Vivian is the fastest, taking the least time.
- Rena is next, swimming slightly faster than Mia.
- Mia is the slowest.
Thus, the true comparisons are:
- Vivian < Rena < Mia (in terms of time taken).
