Question

Rachel has completed 2/3 of her shift; Jose has completed 1/6 of his shift; Damon has finished 4/5 of his shift; and Stacy has 6/7 of her shift remaining. Out of the four employees, who has completed the most work time? A. Damon B. Rachel C. Stacy D. Jose

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Stacy

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to compare is to convert all the fractions into decimals

    Rachel works 2/3 of her shift: Approximately= 0.667

    Jose works 1/6: approx. = 0.1667

    Damon works 4/5= 0.80

    Stacy works 6/7: approx. = 0.8571

Now this makes it much easier to compare

And since 0.85714 (Stacy's shift) is the largest number, Stacy has completed the largest portion of her shift
