Outfit Stitching Time: If it takes Jack [tex] \frac{3}{7} [/tex] of an hour to stitch a certain style of dress and it takes Anna [tex] \frac{2}{3} [/tex] of an hour for the same design, who takes less time?

Select one:
A. Anna
B. Jack



Answer :

To determine who takes less time to stitch a certain style of dress between Jack and Anna, we need to compare their respective times.

1. We have that Jack takes [tex]\(\frac{3}{7}\)[/tex] of an hour.
2. Anna takes [tex]\(\frac{2}{3}\)[/tex] of an hour.

To compare these fractions, let's find a common denominator. However, intuitively we can compare them as follows:

- Let's convert these fractions to decimal form:
- [tex]\(\frac{3}{7} \approx 0.4286\)[/tex] (rounded to four decimal places).
- [tex]\(\frac{2}{3} \approx 0.6667\)[/tex] (rounded to four decimal places).

By looking at these decimal values, we can see that [tex]\(0.4286 < 0.6667\)[/tex], indicating that [tex]\(\frac{3}{7} < \(\frac{2}{3}\)[/tex].

Thus, Jack ([tex]\(\frac{3}{7}\)[/tex]) takes less time than Anna ([tex]\(\frac{2}{3}\)[/tex]) to stitch the dress.

Therefore, Jack takes less time to stitch the dress.

The correct answer is:
Jack
