Find the common denominator
If you cannot find ill help Its 12.
Now we convert 2/3 with the common denominator of 12.
It is equal to 8/12
5/6 is equal to 10/12
3/4 is equal to 9/12
That means Leah has 8/12
Joans has 9/12
Maria has 10/12
8/12 is the shortest so Leah ran the shortest 

If there are four friends then each would get, 1.25 or 1 1/4. so this is how i solved 5 ÷ 4 = 1.25 . hope this ; )
