Turtles 2

A box turtle hibernates in the sand at 11 5/8. A spotted turtle hibernates at 11 16/25 feet. Which turtle is deeper?

Correct result:

x =  2

Solution:

$$\begin{gathered} a=11+{\displaystyle \frac{5}{8}}={\displaystyle \frac{93}{8}}=11.625\text{ ft } \\ b=11+{\displaystyle \frac{16}{25}}={\displaystyle \frac{291}{25}}=11.64\text{ ft } \\ b>a \\ x=2 \end{gathered}$$
