Sam, Trish, and Shanti are making signs for the spring dance. Sam can make a sign in 3/4 of an hour, Trish can make a sign in 2/3 of an hour, and Shanti can make a sign in 3/5 of an hour. who has the most time left
3/4 of an hour = (3/4)(60) = 45 minutes, leaving 15 of the hours
2/3 of an hour = ......
3/5 of an hour = ....
To determine who has the most time left, we need to calculate the amount of time each person has left after making their signs.
Let's find the time each person takes to make a sign:
- Sam takes 3/4 of an hour to make a sign.
- Trish takes 2/3 of an hour to make a sign.
- Shanti takes 3/5 of an hour to make a sign.
Now, let's calculate the time each person has left:
- Sam has 1 - 3/4 = 1/4 of an hour left.
- Trish has 1 - 2/3 = 1/3 of an hour left.
- Shanti has 1 - 3/5 = 2/5 of an hour left.
Comparing the fractions, we can see that:
1/3 < 1/4 < 2/5
Therefore, Shanti has the most time left, with 2/5 of an hour remaining.
