Question

Jessica says that the plant with the greatest height is Plant E since it is the only height that is a whole number and the other heights are all fractions and decimals. Is Jessica correct? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

Plant E, if it is the only whole number, is the highest number. The question said nothing about the other plants having a whole number and a fraction like 2 1/2. If the other plants are not even wholes.

Answer 2

No, because a fraction could be higher than a whole number and so could a decimal.
