Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the given times
The sheep came from the meadow in \( 2.16 \) minutes, and the cows came from the corn in \( 2.22 \) minutes.
Step 2: Compare the times
Compare \( 2.16 \) minutes (sheep) and \( 2.22 \) minutes (cows). Since \( 2.16 < 2.22 \), the sheep arrived faster.
