At a taffy pull, George stretched the taffy
to 3 feet. Jose stretched it 113
times as far
as George. Maria stretched it 23
as far as
George. Sally stretched it 66
as far. Who
stretched it the farthest? the least?
great job, "Bob" reposting the exact same problem, with the exact same typos!
g = 3
j = 113*3 = 339
now do the other parts.
Somehow I suspect you have "both" bungled the fractions.
Yes we did sorry
Jose streched the farthest- 339
Maria streched it- 69
Sally streched it- 198

You are all wrong!
To determine who stretched the taffy the farthest and the least, we need to compare the lengths each person stretched it relative to George's 3 feet. Let's calculate the lengths each person stretched the taffy:
- Jose stretched it 113 times as far as George, so his length would be 113 * 3 feet = 339 feet.
- Maria stretched it 23 times as far as George, so her length would be 23 * 3 feet = 69 feet.
- Sally stretched it 66 times as far as George, so her length would be 66 * 3 feet = 198 feet.
Now, we can compare the lengths to determine who stretched it the farthest and the least:
- Jose stretched it the farthest with 339 feet.
- Maria stretched it the least with 69 feet.
