To solve this problem, we need to compare the time each person spends on the catwalk.
Given:
- Maria's time is [tex]\(\frac{1}{8}\)[/tex] of an hour.
- Susan's time is [tex]\(\frac{3}{15}\)[/tex] of an hour.
First, let's convert these fractions into decimal form to easily compare them.
Maria's time:
[tex]\[ \frac{1}{8} = 0.125 \, \text{hours} \][/tex]
Susan's time:
[tex]\[ \frac{3}{15} = \frac{1}{5} = 0.2 \, \text{hours} \][/tex]
Now that we have the times in decimal form:
- Maria spends 0.125 hours on the catwalk.
- Susan spends 0.2 hours on the catwalk.
We can see that 0.2 is greater than 0.125. Therefore, Susan spends more time on the catwalk compared to Maria.
So, the answer is:
- Susan spends more time on the catwalk.
