1. **Problem:** Determine who has finished 4/5 of their project.
2. **Step 1: Calculate total fraction finished by each person by adding their parts.**
- Jake: $$\frac{7}{15} + \frac{1}{6}$$
- Tom: $$\frac{3}{6} + \frac{3}{10}$$
- Felipe: $$\frac{4}{7} + \frac{1}{4}$$
- Bill: $$\frac{6}{9} + \frac{1}{8}$$
3. **Step 2: Find common denominators and add fractions.**
- Jake: Common denominator is 30.
$$\frac{7}{15} = \frac{14}{30}, \quad \frac{1}{6} = \frac{5}{30}$$
$$\frac{14}{30} + \frac{5}{30} = \frac{19}{30}$$
- Tom: Common denominator is 30.
$$\frac{3}{6} = \frac{15}{30}, \quad \frac{3}{10} = \frac{9}{30}$$
$$\frac{15}{30} + \frac{9}{30} = \frac{24}{30}$$
- Felipe: Common denominator is 28.
$$\frac{4}{7} = \frac{16}{28}, \quad \frac{1}{4} = \frac{7}{28}$$
$$\frac{16}{28} + \frac{7}{28} = \frac{23}{28}$$
- Bill: Common denominator is 72.
$$\frac{6}{9} = \frac{48}{72}, \quad \frac{1}{8} = \frac{9}{72}$$
$$\frac{48}{72} + \frac{9}{72} = \frac{57}{72}$$
4. **Step 3: Convert 4/5 to a fraction with denominators to compare or decimal.**
- $$\frac{4}{5} = 0.8$$
5. **Step 4: Convert each total to decimal to compare easily.**
- Jake: $$\frac{19}{30} \approx 0.6333$$
- Tom: $$\frac{24}{30} = 0.8$$
- Felipe: $$\frac{23}{28} \approx 0.8214$$
- Bill: $$\frac{57}{72} \approx 0.7917$$
6. **Step 5: Compare decimals to 0.8.**
- Jake: 0.6333 < 0.8
- Tom: 0.8 = 0.8
- Felipe: 0.8214 > 0.8
- Bill: 0.7917 < 0.8
7. **Step 6: Conclusion:** Felipe finished more than 4/5, Tom finished exactly 4/5, so Felipe has finished more than 4/5 of his project.
**Final answer:** Felipe has finished 4/5 of his project.
