Answer:

Ally

Step-by-step explanation:

The fastest time of the race will be the one lesser in value.

=============================================================

Comparing the tenths place :

⇒ Jill = 8 in the tenths place

⇒ Ally = 8 in the tenths place

⇒ Maria = 9 in the tenths place

Since Maria's time's tenth place value is greater than that of the other two, she had the slowest time.

===========================================================

Comparing the hundredths place (for Jill and Ally) :

⇒ Jill = 7 in the hundredths place

⇒ Ally = 2 in the hundredths place

Since Ally has the lower hundredths' place value, she has the fastest time.

Answer:

Jill = 8 in the tenths place

Ally = 8 in the tenths place

Maria = 9 in the tenths placeation:
