Agirl's feet are negative 4 over 5 yards from the surface of a pool. a boy's feet are negative 2 over 5 yards from the surface of the pool. determine whose feet are closer to the surface.

There are many ways you can do this. To me, the easiest way is cross multiplying, but since the denominators are the same, there is no need to do that. Also, the fractions are negatives, the one closest to 0 is closer to the surface of the pool
-4/5 = -2/5 in this case -2/5 is closer to the surface of the pool.

the boy's feet are closer to the surface of the pool

Boy's feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The distance of girl's feet from the surface = yards,

Also, the distance of boy's feet from the surface = yards,

Thus, the feet of boy are closer to the surface.

is it 12.50
