so basically since josh worked a fraction (that's less than 1) of staceys time then therefor stacy's tme is more than josh
josh<stacy
vicki worked a fraction(that's greater than 1) of stacey's time. since it is greater than 1, it makes it more so like 2 times 2 and 1/2=2+1=3 which is greater so
viki worked more than stacy therefor

josh<stacy<vicki
so
A is correct (Stacey>josh)
B is correct (Stacey<Viki)
C is false
D we have to solve by doing
4 and 3/4 convert to fraction improper
4 and 3/4=19/4
19/4 times 2/3=josh=38/12=19/6
viki worked 1 and 3/8 of stacey
19/4 times 1 and 3/8=19/4+57/32=209/32=7.9
josh+stacey=19/4+19/6=95/12=6.5
7.9>6.5 so
D is true


so the answers that are true are
A,B,D
