Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot]

To use benchmark numbers, we can round all of the fractions to the nearest half or quarter. 3/6 is the same as 1/2, 3/4 is the same as 3/4, and 2/8 is the same as 1/4. So, Cindy read for 0.5 hours on Friday, 0.75 hours on Saturday, and 0.25 hours on Sunday. The least amount of time is on Sunday, with only 0.25 hours of reading. Therefore, the answer is C. Sunday.
