Stacey worked on her garden for 4 3/4 hours. Josh worked on his garden 2/3 times as long as Stacey. Vicki worked on her garden 1 3/8 times as long as Stacey. Select True or False for each statement. Stacey worked longer on her garden than Josh worked on his garden.

Answer 1

Just do the arithmetic

Stacey worked for 4 3/4 hours or 19/4 hours
Josh worked 2/3 of that ..... (2/3)(19/4) = 19/6 hours
vicki worked 1 3/8 times Stacey ===> (11/8)(19/4) = 209/32 hours

19/4 hours = 4.75 hours
19/6 hours = 3.17 hours
209/32 .....

compare their times
