Answer:
Option A
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that Mia's frog only jumped [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] the distance of Chloe's frog - which means that Mia's frog must be behind Chloe's frog. Therefore, Mia's frog must also not be in first place.
We also know that Tony's frog jumped [tex]1\frac{1}{4}[/tex] the distance of Chloe's frog - meaning that Tony's frog jumped further than Chloe's frog, since it is above 1. So, Tony's frog is ahead of Chloe's frog. Therefore, Chloe's frog cannot be in first place either.
Let's look at the clues gathered so far:
- Tony's frog is ahead of Chloe's frog.
- Mia's frog is behind Chloe's frog.
- Mia's frog is not in first place.
Using logic, the only option that meets these requirements would be option A. Tony would be ahead of Chloe, Mia would be behind Chloe, and neither of the girls' frogs would be in first place. You could also use the process of elimination to get rid of the other answers.
