To determine which subject Jenn spent the least time on, we need to compare the values in column 2.
The values in column 2 represent fractions of hours:
- Five-sixths can be written as 5/6.
- StartFraction 37 over 60 EndFraction is equivalent to the decimal 0.617.
- Two-thirds can be written as 2/3.
- StartFraction 17 over 30 EndFraction is equivalent to the decimal 0.567.
Comparing the fractions and decimals, we can see that:
- 5/6 is greater than 0.617
- 2/3 is less than 0.617
- 2/3 is greater than 0.567
- 5/6 is greater than 0.567
Therefore, the subject Jenn spent the least time on is Language Arts.
Jenn kept track of the amount of time she spent on homework for each subject.
