# Paper collecting

At the paper collecting contest gathered Franta 2/9 ton, Karel 1/4 ton, and Patrick 19/36 tons of paper. Who has gathered the most and the least?

Result

min = (Correct answer is: F)
max = (Correct answer is: P)

#### Solution:

$F=2/9=\dfrac{ 2 }{ 9 } \doteq 0.2222 \ \text{t} \ \\ K=1/4=\dfrac{ 1 }{ 4 }=0.25 \ \text{t} \ \\ P=19/36=\dfrac{ 19 }{ 36 } \doteq 0.5278 \ \text{t} \ \\ \ \\ P > K > F \ \\ \ \\ min=F=0.2222$
$max=P=0.5278$
