    Answer:

    ELLA

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given that :

    Distance covered by Ella = 5/10

    Distance covered by Sam = 7/8

    Comparing each distance to 1/2

    Ella = 5/ 10 = 1/2 ; 1/2 = 1/2 = 0.5

    Sam = 7/8 = 0.875 ; comparing with 1/2

    0.875 > 0.5

    Given

    Sam ran farther Than ELLA

    Because 0.875 > 1/2

    0.875 – 0. 5 = 0.375
