Answer:
Jose stretched the taffy the farthest and Maria stretched it the least
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance stretched by George = 3 feet
Distance stretched by Jose is [tex]1\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex] times as much as George so
[tex]3\times 1\dfrac{1}{3}=3\times\dfrac{4}{3}=4\ \text{feet}[/tex]
Distance stretched by Jose is [tex]4\ \text{feet}[/tex]
Maria streched the taffy [tex]\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex] times as George
[tex]3\times \dfrac{2}{3}=2\ \text{feet}[/tex]
Maria stretched the taffy by [tex]2\ \text{feet}[/tex]
Sally stretched it [tex]\dfrac{6}{6}[/tex] so [tex]1\ \text{feet}[/tex]
So, Jose stretched the taffy the farthest and Maria stretched it the least.
