eight and one-sixth seconds
sixteen and one-half seconds
twelve and nine-tenths seconds
twenty-six and twenty-three fiftieths seconds

Answer 1

E - 1 4/5 = M where E is Eva's time and M is Marci's time


14 7/10 - 1 4/5 = M

14 7/10 - 1 8/10 = M

Answer 2

14 7/10 - 1 8/10 = M

13 17/10 - 1 8/10 = M

12 9/10 = M
