Jason, Michael, Jennifer, and Macy each measured how tall they are so that they could compare their heights. The table to the right shows their heights in inches. Order their heights from tallest to shortest
Jason 68.05 inches
Michael 68 2/3 inches
Jennifer 68.35 inches
Macy 68 7/11 inches
68 2/3
68 7/11
68.35
68.05
Right.
Which of the following expressions below have a value of 25?
A.5(5+5/5)-5
B.95-2(3+2^5)
C.(6+3^3)-(10-8)3
D.11+(9^2-8^2+5^2)/3
B?
But does A equal 25 also because I got 25 for both A and B
To order their heights from tallest to shortest, follow these steps:
1. Convert all the mixed numbers (including the fractions) to a common format. In this case, we'll convert them to improper fractions.
- 68 2/3 = (3 * 68 + 2)/3 = 206/3
- 68 7/11 = (11 * 68 + 7)/11 = 751/11
2. Compare the heights in decimal form.
- Jason: 68.05
- Michael: 206/3 = 68.67 (rounded to two decimal places)
- Jennifer: 68.35
- Macy: 751/11 ≈ 68.27 (rounded to two decimal places)
3. Order the heights from tallest to shortest based on the decimal values:
- Jennifer: 68.35
- Michael: 68.67
- Macy: 68.27
- Jason: 68.05
So, the ordered heights from tallest to shortest are:
Jennifer (68.35) > Michael (68.67) > Macy (68.27) > Jason (68.05)
