Mason and Liam just raced each other in a 50-yard dash and it was really close Mason ran the race in 7.75 seconds and Liam ran it in 7 7/8 who won the race Mason or Liam

Answer 1

To determine who won the race, we need to convert Liam's time from a mixed fraction to a decimal.

Liam's time is 7 7/8 seconds. To convert 7 7/8 into a decimal:

1. Convert the fraction 7/8 into a decimal: \[ 7 \div 8 = 0.875 \]

2. Add this to the whole number 7: \[ 7 + 0.875 = 7.875 \text{ seconds} \]

Now we can compare the times:

• Mason's time: 7.75 seconds
• Liam's time: 7.875 seconds

Since 7.75 seconds is less than 7.875 seconds, Mason won the race.
