Elizabeth Johns · Answer 1

So basically since josh worked a fraction (that's less than 1) of staceys time then therefor stacy's tme is more than josh

josh
vicki worked a fraction (that's greater than 1) of stacey's time. since it is greater than 1, it makes it more so like 2 times 2 and 1/2=2+1=3 which is greater so

viki worked more than stacy therefor

josh
so

A is correct (Stacey>josh)

B is correct (Stacey
C is false

D we have to solve by doing

4 and 3/4 convert to fraction improper

4 and 3/4=19/4

19/4 times 2/3=josh=38/12=19/6

viki worked 1 and 3/8 of stacey

19/4 times 1 and 3/8=19/4+57/32=209/32=7.9

josh+stacey=19/4+19/6=95/12=6.5

7.9>6.5 so

D is true

so the answers that are true are

A, B, D
